COSMIC Screenshot only allows saving images to ~/Documents
or ~/Pictures
:
Customizing the location has been requested at pop-os/cosmic-screenshot@github.com#15
a year ago, but isn’t becoming a thing yet.
However, in the meantime, there is a workaround :
#!/bin/bash
MONITOR_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
DEST_DIR="$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/"
PATTERN="Screenshot_*.png"
inotifywait -m -e create -e moved_to --format "%f" "$MONITOR_DIR" | while read FILE
do
if [[ "$FILE" == $PATTERN ]]
then
mv "$MONITOR_DIR/$FILE" "$DEST_DIR/"
fi
done
Run this at startup (for example using /path/to/move_screenshots.sh
in bash crontab
) and your screenshots will now be systematically moved instantly to the right place.
Fun fact : the abovementioned Bash code was AI-generated (at chat.mistral.ai).
