Got it. using gconf:
/apps/compiz-1/plugins/gnomecompat/screen0/options/command_screenshot
change the key from 'gnome-screenshot' to 'gnome-screenshot -i'.

Who knew...

Ubuntu 12.04 Gnome Shell (not Unity)

That's what I'm seeing. I found that if you look in
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, and comment out the XDG_PICTURES_DIR line:

XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"

...it saves the pics in your home folder. But that seems to remove all
refences in the system to any default Pictures folder.

I would like to restore the function where it prompts for a location
when you hit the [Print Screen] key.
Like mentioend before, if you use the gnome-screenshot gui, it does ask...


So, just did a fresh install of 12.04x64 on a spare Latitude D620...
Now it's getting interesting. After the install, the [Print Screen] key
pops up the location box like I want.
Via Synaptic, I install Gnome and remove Unity. Now the prompt doesn't
occur. Via Synaptic, add Unity (yuck)& Ubuntu-Desktop back in. Still no
prompt when using Gnome Shell, but when I login to Unity, it does prompt.
So, what the fuck is Gnome doing?



I loaded up dconf and notice that in the 'last save directory' the
format is 'file:///home/<username>/<directory>. So I change to that
format (this is GNOME Shell/Classic) in the org.gnome.gnome-screenshot
auto-save-directory key, and it now saves to my prefered directory. So
not using dconf, but using the cli, the command is:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-screenshot auto-save-directory
file:///home/<user>/<directory>


Yeah, that's what I'm going to do for the meantime.


Now on to figuring out how to get it to run gnome-screenshot -i
(interactive) with GNOME Classic...

If/when you get an answer, let me know. I'll help test it too.

I tried that, soft of, used --interactive, which should still work, but
didn't.

I'll try the -i instead.

Than I can try to figure out how I got [ALT][Print Screen] kesy to not
work at all...

What do you get when you run this from a terminal:
gnome-screenshot -i

Sorry, forgot to ask what you have in:
/home/<user>/.gconf/apps/compiz-1/plugins/gnomecompat/screen0/options/%gconf.xml?

Should look like:

It doesn't matter. This works for you because you are using Gnome
Classic, with effects, and therefore, Compiz is your Window manager.
Not the case for those trying to make Gnome Shell useful.

Oh man... now you've done it :-)
Yep. Just switched to GNOME Classic (2D no effects) and of course
without Compiz, the last doesn't work. The first setting:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-screenshot auto-save-directory
file:///home/<user>/<directory>
does. Back to the drawing board...

I can confirm this - it works for me this way as well.
Thanks, NoOp!
