How do we change the screenshot saved images directory from its default (on Arch) ?
Offline
Edit the "screenshot_dir" setting in the ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-screenshooter file.

How come it's not the location ???
screenshot_dir=file:///home/<user_name>
I always retrieve it, for next to first time use in clipboard, in /tmp location
and if one look in that /tmp it's clearly the collection of all screenhot files, sorted in ascending (older to newer) order
so confusing, help out

Arch has version 1.10 in its repositories. Have you upgraded lately?
Also, please post back the full contents of ~/.config/xfce4/xfce4-screenshooter.
And finally, how are you using xfce4-screenshooter? The GUI or command line?

In which directory do you want the screenshots placed by default?

actually point is just to have it on RAM to be as efficient, so mine is to be together under browser cache
/tmp/opera/
it's so neat as opera has its cache only as only few directories with no file else

So then change:
screenshot_dir=file:///home/budi
...to:
screenshot_dir=file:///tmp/opera
...and it will become the default save directory. Make sure the directory exists.
