Q: Unable to change screenshot location

Hi all,

 

I need some help changing the default location of my screenshots. I tried all tips I could find so far, the default terminal command 'defaults write com.apple.screencapture location' does not work.

 

I did the 'killall SystemUIServer' and also tried a manual reboot.


When I use the command 'defaults read com.apple.screencapture' it displays the right folder (i.e. ...Desktop/Screenhots), but when I take a screenshot it still saves on the Desktop and not in the folder.


I tried to restore the location to it's default value, I also tried to change the location using Onyx, I checked to see if the folder has the correct rights.


So anything else I can try other than a fresh install?


Kind regards,

Nick
