Public bug reported: Expected: Be able to change the directory where the screenshots are saved, either from Settings (GUI) or from gsettings (cli).
What happens: Screenshots are unconditionally saved to the Pictures directory (XDG_PICTURES_DIR). Temporary Workaround: Use a specific extension: Screenshot Locations (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1179/screenshot-locations/) Previous discussion: The bug was previously reported 5 years ago on bugzilla 699642 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699642) and closed as WONTFIX. I'm reporting here again, as I hope the time is ripe for a reconsideration, given how many users are affected and willing to see this solved.
