I take a lot of screenshots, and while Os X makes it easy to capture the screen – Cmd + Shift + 3 to capture entire desktop, Cmd + Shift +4 to capture a portion, or Cmd + Shift + 4 and then hit the spacebar to screen grab an entire application window – it saves all the shots to the desktop. I don’t like to clutter up my desktop so I usually change the default folder for screen shots. Here’s how, open Terminal and type in:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /<yourpath>/
Replace
Log out and back in again and your all set.
