I like to save my screenshots in case they become relevant, like so:
"Relevant" comes from "relief" and somehow it's exactly what your screenshot conveys. Pertinent.
If anyone's wondering, it's a frame of the music video for A$AP Rocky's "Tailor Swif"
neat, thanks for sharing the idea
It uses RAM, though. And if I'm not mistaken, it could write to swap file. But I guess it's not an issue with screenshots unless one doesn't make million of those without deleting them.
yea it does, but it's pretty minimal
mine is at 3.7 MB with 23 png files (I always use the rectangle select, not full screenshot)
That's worth at least $100 with current RAM prices ๐
How did you do that? Is there a configuration option in the GUI?
yea, in Spectacle click the Options, Configure Spectacle
in General, check "Save file to default folder"
and in Image Saving, set the Save Location
Nice, thanks!
@Die4Ever Thumbs up. I was reading, when will /tmp be cleaned without reboot, as default, is one day on debian. But for a workstation, you do not have to take care about this I think.
@Die4Ever /tmp as a directory, yes. Rest depends on your settings and software.
I'd rather leave things as default when possible, /tmp/ being the public tmpfs and /run/user/1000/ being the private tmpfs
Why don't use /tmp for this?
$ mount | grep /tmp
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,inode64)
Devuan excalibur, Debian is the same.
Because /tmp/ is accessible by any user
Don't the screenshots get saved with your user as the owner? The only real difference is that other users can list your screenshots in /tmp afaict.
