Hi,

I have upgraded to 14:10, and picked up a bug or two along the way. This one
is a nuisance, because I use screenshots a lot on my blog. Every time I try
to make a new screenshot, it just creates a new copy of an old one.
Therefore, it is storing them somewhere in a queue, and when I try to make a
new one, it puts that at the bottom of the queue and offers me a fresh
edition of the snapshot that is stuck at the top. Or a selection from
several that are stuck there, but never the new one. The official location
for all screenshots is set by me as the desktop, and I have repeatedly
deleted everything on there, including hidden files. These things must be
stored somewhere else. So where are they all, so that I can clear them, and
perhaps find some way of preventing them from accumulating like this again?

When you click on print screen (if that is how you are taking a
snapshot) what does it show for Save in Folder?

I haven't been using Print Screen, I have been using the Screenshot application, because I always want to select an area by hand. But it is interesting that the Print Screen command always reverts the destination folder to Pictures, no matter how often I try to change it to Desktop. But this doesn't really solve my problem. I can find the resulting image file, whether it is in Desktop or in Pictures. the trouble is, it is not the present screen, but an old one, stored somewhere and regurgitated repeatedly. So the question must be, where?
