I take lots of screenshots that fill up my desktop very quickly, what im trying to do is set a system where all screenshots will automatically get saved to a screenshots folder on my desktop.
Ive tried to set an automator action to do this, but couldn't figure out exactly how to do this, any ideas / guidance much appreciated
You can change the default screenshot location via the Terminal running the following commands:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/yourpathhere
killall SystemUIServer
In your case to save the screenshots in a folder on the desktop the path would be /Users/userName/Desktop/yourfoldername
