When I do command+shift+4 to do a screen capture, can I specify a folder for these to land in or must they all land on my desktop? I take a ton of these and my desktop gets cluttered fast!

Yes. You can set the default location in the Screenshots preference pane.

You would have to tell us where you got the Screenshots preference pane.

It appears to be a $2 piece of shareware. ...And it looks like it's Tiger-only, as the ability to change the screenshot file format is apparenty a Tiger feature. Bummer.

Someone on another forum pointed me to this script, which appears to solve my problem:

ScriptBuilders: Screenshot Settings 1.1

My bad. I was going off my work computer. Apparently, they have the screen shot preference thingy installed. I thought it was standard.

Alternatively, you can also use something like Onyx to specify the default save path.



OnyX 1.7.5 - MacUpdate

Second the suggestion to use OnyX!

I must be blind - I looked for that setting in OnyX, and couldn't find it for the life of me. I am running Panther though - is that screenshot from the Tiger version?

I think you answered your own question earlier.

Well, you never know...I thought there was a chance that is was something a tweak app like OnyX could change, even if Grab didn't support it...

If you use Grab to take your screenshots instead of the keyboard shortcuts, you can specify where to save the resultant file and the format.
