Hi all,

How can I change the default settings for Screenshot?

Thank you! ??

Make the changes to the ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4/screenshooter file. The last used settings are stored there.

Or call xfce4-screenshooter like this:

xfce4-screenshooter -d 5 -m -f

Thanks @ToZ!

Can you instruct me what to put inside that file?

For me it doesn't exist yet.

cat: /home/orschiro/.config/xfce4/xfce4/screenshooter: No such file or directory

ToZ made a small typo, he meant this file:

~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-screenshooter

("-" instead of "/")

Yipes!

(thanks for the catch)

@ToZ @Spass @alcornoqui,

Thanks for your help! You guys are great. :-)

Sharing my preferred config now:

delay=5
region=1
action=1
show_mouse=1
screenshot_dir=file:/home/orschiro/Downloads
app=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable
last_user=

Hi, it is possible to change mouse pointer size in this file? When I am taking a screenshot it is too small...
