Get off my desktop
If you’re like me, you constantly take screen captures, for a long list of different reasons. OSX has made this incredibly easy, but it also tends to leave a mess. Next thing you know, you’ve got 20+ screen grabs littered around your desktop with the great name Picture (number).png. Here’s a way to clean up the clutter, and put those screenshots in their place.
In a terminal, type the following:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Documents/Screenshots
Just replace YOURUSERNAME with, your username. Of course, you can use this command to put the screencaptures anywhere you want. After doing so, then just add the directory to your Dock as a stack, and it’s even more useful. You need to make sure the directory exists first, and it will take a logout/login for the changes to take.
If you’re still running Panther, then you’re SOL, and you need to upgrade anyway.
