Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using the integrated screenshot utility screenshots are now saved in /home/'user'/Screenshots

Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of creating a new folder in the user's home directory I'd think it would be better to save in /home/'user'/Pictures/screenshots

Additional context
See the attached scrot for the current setup

Yes, it's just a stupid habit of mine. I'll try to get it sorted out over the weekend. I've had no time for FOSS at all for the last two days (!!!).

No worries, mate! It is just sth very small i came across when making scrots. First of all: get some time off and a beer or 4. This is absolutely not urgent ;-)

That is the plan!

This will need a change in the /usr/bin/screenshot script, which is a part of the nwg-shell package. It'll have to wait for the nearest package update.

Thnx for looking into it, we will see it in the next stable release!

OK, the target dir is now defined like this (and depends on the xdg-user-dir package):

PICTURES=$(xdg-user-dir PICTURES)
DIR=${SCREENSHOT_DIR:=$PICTURES/Screenshots}

You can still use any other path by setting the SCREENSHOT_DIR environment variable.

I'll release when nwg-shell-config 0.5.53 hits the [Extra] repo. Need an icon added to that package. :D

Okay mate, I'll be installing nwg-iso later this week and the update after that will probably catch it. Thanks!

Done.
