Bug ID: 526909
Summary: Spectacle recreates deleted or renamed
lastImageSaveAsLocation folder instead of falling back
to default location
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version First 6.7.5
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
When saving a screenshot with "Save As" into a custom folder, Spectacle
remembers that folder as the last save location.
If that folder is later deleted or renamed in Dolphin/file manager, saving a
subsequent screenshot in Spectacle still targets the old folder path and
automatically recreates the deleted/renamed folder on disk, rather than
realizing the folder no longer exists and falling back to the default location.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take a screenshot in Spectacle and click "Save As".
2. In the file dialog, create a new folder (e.g., "abcd" inside "Pictures") and
save the screenshot inside it.
3. Open Dolphin and rename "abcd" to "abcc" (or delete "abcd").
4. Take a new screenshot in Spectacle and click "Save As" (or "Save").
OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle still points to the old "Pictures/abcd" folder and recreates the
"abcd" folder on disk when saving, creating an unwanted duplicate/resurrected
folder.
EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle should check if the last used save directory still exists. If the
folder was deleted or renamed, it should fall back cleanly to the default save
location (e.g., Pictures or Pictures/Screenshots) instead of recreating the old
folder.
