    More importantly, could you keep the thumbnail but not have to wait 5 seconds for the file to be saved, AND when you take two consecutive screenshots it doesn't show the thumbnail of the first one? Commented Mar 25, 2019 at 18:18

  1. Press commandShift5 to bring up the Screenshot menu
  2. Uncheck Options > Show Floating Thumbnail

This will prevent it from showing up.

This will also disable the ~5 second saving delay (screenshots will be saved immediately).

    Have you noticed it still takes 5 seconds to show the file on the desktop, even if you disable this? I could go off on one of my 'fun rants' about this 'improvement'... but I shan't ;)

    @Tetsujin Screw it. I'm gonna look into copying the frameworks over from high Sierra to completely disable this feature. Commented Oct 6, 2018 at 15:22

    @Tetsujin I went off on such a "fun rant", before discovering that my question was a duplicate. I don't even mind the down-votes. It felt good to point out everything that's wrong with this feature. :-D
