I would like to be able to change that directory too. By default, it is located
in XDG_PICTURES_DIR gnome directory.
But I would like to move screenshots elsewhere so that XDG_PICTURES_DIR is only
for my own personal pictures.
That makes sense too me, it is the way I use XDG_VIDEO_DIR,
I found this extension while researching another problem. I invite any
thoughts on its usage with regard to security.

Hope this helps.

Title:
Save directory for gnome-screenshots cannot be changed
To manage notifications about this bug go to:
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.
