Auto save directory/last save directory both work for me if I call gnome-screenshot or gnome-screenshot --interactive from an xterm, but neither work when I press Print Screen. 'Screenshot of a window' and 'screenshot of an area' behave identically.
I worked around this issue by defining custom keyboard shortcuts to 'gnome-screenshot', 'gnome-screenshot -w', 'gnome-screenshot -a'. My hunch is that the default shortcuts are passing '--file=$FILENAME' to gnome-screenshot, after failing to define the filename properly (they shouldn't pass --file to gnome-screenshot at all, imo), but I'm not sure where to look to track down where this behavior is defined. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screenshot in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977228 Title: [Ubuntu 12.04] gnome-screenshot forgets "last-save-directory" Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04, Beta 2 1) press [PrintScreen] to do a screenshot 2) gnome-screenshot proposes to save it in "$HOME/pictures" 3) change location to "$HOME/videos" or similiar and close gnome-screenshot 4) press [PrintScreen] again and take another screenshot 6) tool wants to save picture in "$HOME/pictures" again 5) expected behaviour: proposes to save pic in "$HOME/videos" BTW: Setting a fixed path in dconf-editor entry "last-save-directory" doesn't change anything.
