Screen Capture Lag

Not sure if this can be changed but when I do a screen capture, the thumbnail appears on the bottom right and then the icon appears on the desktop.


Any way to bypass the preview of the thumbnail and just have the icon on the desktop show up right away?


Thanks

The delays is there for a reason and is discussed from an Except for the following link


You can always unCheck the Floating Show Thumbnail from the Options in Screen shots




Take screenshots or screen recordings on Mac


  1. Click Options if you want.
  2. The available options vary based on whether you’re taking a screenshot or a screen recording. For example, you can choose to set a timed delay or show the mouse pointer or clicks, and specify where to save the file.
  3. The Show Floating Thumbnail option helps you work more easily with a completed shot or recording—it floats in the bottom-right corner of the screen for a few seconds so you have time to drag it into a document, mark it up, or share it before it’s saved to the location you specified.
