Q: Screenshot: change file extension

Hi dear community,

 

I've a problem doing screenshots:

 

MacOS always wants to safe my screenshots as .tiif, but I want them to be jpg-files.

To change this behaviour I tried different methods:

-Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.ScreenCapture type JPG; killAll SystemUIServer

 

-> doesn't work: still tiff-files

 

-Onyx:

changed fileextension and folder, where to save: both changes were not made

 

-TinkerTool:

same behaviour as Onyx: nothing changed

 

 

 

Why does my Mac not want to save screenshots as jpg's?

 

And yes: I've restarted it! More than once

 

 

Does anybody know, how I can change the extension to jpg?

 

Thanks a lot!

 

OS: 10.8.3

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion
