#180439 — Screenshots

Is it possible to direct a screenshot to a folder rather than to the
Desktop in Sequoia?

I vaguely remember doing this in Ventura and there is a folder called
Screenshots but if it screenshots ever went there automatically  they don’t
now.

On right clicking the screenshot icon that immediately appears on the
Desktop I see options to save to Desktop, Documents, Clipboard plus open in
mail, preview, photos plus show in finder, delete, markup , close.

From Apple Support ....

https://support.apple.com/en-us/102646

By default, screenshots and screen recordings save to your desktop with the
name ”Screen Shot [date] at [time].png” or “Screen Recording [date] at
[time].mov.” Or you can drag the thumbnail that appears in the corner of your
screen, then drop it in another location.
If you can’t find the screenshot or screen recording on your desktop, it might
help to view your desktop in a Finder window. From the menu bar in the Finder,
choose Go >Desktop, or click Desktop in the sidebar of any Finder window.

Here, Screenshot opens a menu bar offering an 'options' option from which
one can choose where to save to.

I think it may depend on what type of keyboard you have and maybe macos 
version. I'm using an M1 MBP running Sequoia with integral KB & touchbar. 
Various other save options don't seem to be available.

OK if I drag and hover the screenshot icon over my Macintosh HD icon the 
latter opens up and I can continue this process by hovering progressively over 
folder icons until I find a suitable folder to save to screenshot to. This 
hovering technique goes back years!

Also some of the commands shown in this support article don’t seem to work
as expected on my system.

I would have thought it's just an app, and works reasonably consistently
whatever the hardware. Do you not see something like this (scroll down abit
for the Mac desktop image):

Not initially but then I restarted my MBP and, yes, I see that now. Strange -
I guess I must have messed things up when experimenting with various key
combos earlier. I'm glad to see there is an other location option too. More
importanly has John H made any progress despite my unintentional attempts to
confuse the issue!!!

Bingo! Exactly what I wanted. You only seem to get this with
<command><shift>5. 3 and 4 do not show it.

The previous setting must have been lost when I did a major rebuild a month
ago to clear out a load of junk in my Libraries.

Thank you.

Hence why my result differed. I ran the app from Utilities rather than
shortcut.

Press Cmd + Shift + 5. You'll see a menu bar pop up somewhere. Click on 
the "Options" drop-down. Find the "Save to" section. Select "Other 
Location..."
