Screen Shot Location in Mac

I still first time I got my Macbook – so excited but a bit struggling trying to find couple of tasks and one of them is how can I do screen shot. I was so surprise when I found out that Mac saved the screen shot file on desktop. Why Apple, especially I can see Mac is trying to minimize use of desktop are. Anyway, it has been a year now and I finally decided it’s time to change it. I Google it and found a instruction how you can do that:

  1. Create a folder where you want the screen shot capture save the image to. I created on:
    /Users/chenyk/Pictures/ScreenShots
  2. Open a Terminal app (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and type following command:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture location Users/chenyk/Pictures/ScreenShots
  3. Done. Just logoff and login back to take this affect.
