So lately when I take a screenshot with command + shift + 4 it first sends me to the preview app and then wants me to save the screenshot by choosing location and name of the screenshot. It used to first show at the bottom right and then just go automatically to my desktop. Is there a way to change this back?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
