If you’re a Mac user, you know that the default location for screenshots is the desktop. And the default file name is “Screen Shot” followed by the date and time. But did you know that you can change both the file name and download location for screenshots on Mac?
Changing the file name and download location for screenshots on Mac is easy. First, open the Terminal app. This can be found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder. Once the Terminal app is open, type “defaults write com.apple.screencapture name ‘YourFileNameHere’” and press enter. This will change the default file name for all screenshots taken on your Mac.
To change the download location, type “defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ‘YourLocationHere’” and press enter. This will change the default download location for all screenshots taken on your Mac.
Now, when you take a screenshot, it will be saved with your chosen file name and in your chosen download location. To make sure the changes have taken effect, you can type “killall SystemUIServer” into the Terminal app and press enter. This will restart the user interface server and apply the changes you’ve made.
Changing the file name and download location for screenshots on Mac is a great way to keep your desktop organized and make sure that all of your screenshots are saved in one place. It’s a simple process that can save you a lot of time and hassle when it comes to organizing your screenshots. So why not give it a try?
