I'd like to name a screenshot as a part of save process, but I can't figure out how to do it using the Screenshot Utility. I'm able to save the file, but my system assigns a generic name: "Screen Shot YYYY-MM-DD at [time]" and saves it without giving me the option to name the file. Anyone know how to name a screenshot as you save it?
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14
No, but I copy it to the copy buffer...
To copy the entire screen, press Command-Control-Shift-3. The screen shot will be placed on your clipboard for you to paste into another program like PowerPoint, Word, Photoshop, etc.
To copy a portion of the screen to the clipboard, press Command-Control-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, you can paste the screen shot to another application.
To copy a specific application window, press and hold Command-Control-Shift-4 then tap on the Spacebar. The cursor will change to a camera, which you can move around the screen. As you move the cursor over an application window, the window will be highlighted. The entire window does not need to be visible for you to capture it. When you have the cursor over a window you want to capture, just click the mouse button and you can paste the screen shot into another application.
Personally I use Craphic Converter & CMD+j keys opens the Copy Buffer in a new Window & allows editing & saving where & as wgat Name & extension to use.
When you press "command + shift + 5", click on "Options" and send it to Preview and name it from there.
I don't know of any way to that, but if you use Grab then it opens the screenshot before saving and allows the title and location to be edited.
(Never mind I thought High Sierra)
That's with the assumption you are running Mojave which your profile states rather than High Sierra where you posted.
I knew there was a reason I answered for HS!
You were probably distracted. 😎
How do you name a screenshot as you're saving it?
