In a tutorial previously presented show How can I change the image format of screenshot from PNG (default format of Macos) in another format. PDF, gif, jpg or tiff. Everything very simple, executing a specific order line in the terminal for fiction from the desired formats.
All screen shots is Save automatically on your Desktop, and this can produce an agglomeration of this space where we usually have other files. Ideally, all the screenshots automatically save themselves in a folder dedicated to them, leaving working space free for other files.
We can do this with the help Terminal, where to execute a command line in which we indicate the location (a folder) where the screenshots will be saved.
How we change the desktop location with another location to save screenshots on macos
Before executing the command lines to change the location of screenshots, it is good to create this folder. Let's say instead of a desktop, we want all the screenshots to be saved in the "Screenshots" folder, and it will be located in "Documents". We go to "Documents" and Cream Folder "Screenshots".
After this step we open the terminal and execute the following command lines:
defaults write com. apple. screencapture location ~/Documents/ScreenShots
The application of changes is made through the command line:
killall SystemUIServer
Once the last order line is focused, all the screenshots will be saved automatically in the folder indicated by us.
Let's go back to the initial settings or change the location, in the first order line we replace “~/Documents/ScreenShots” with the new location.
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Documents/Screenshots
