Possible workaround until this bug gets fixed: I made my own shortcut in settings "/usr/bin/gnome-screenshots -i" Then I assigned shortcut to be print screen. Interactive mode does remember last saved directory so that's a safe work around for the archive.
Hope this helps somebody. -- 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/1862423 Title: Save directory for gnome-screenshots cannot be changed Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When taking a screenshot in Ubuntu 19.10 using the shortcuts (tested for PrtScr and PrtScr + Shift), screenshots are saved to the Directory 'Pictures' even if the value of org.gnome.gnome-screenshot -> auto- save-directory is changed to another directory. This issue occurs when the value is set to an absolute path but also when the path is preceded by 'file://'. The error does not occur when using the command 'gnome-screenshot' in the terminal or in the tab opened by 'f2 + alt' (though the suggested directory in the interactive mode is 'Pictures' instead of the modified value). Changing the value of the auto-save- directory was done using either the terminal, the dconf-editor or the gnome-shell extention 'Screenshot locations' as suggested at https://askubuntu.com/questions/114429/default-save-directory-for- gnome-screenshot.
