Okay, I take a lot of screenshots. I hate the desktop clutter from it. Is there any way to change the output location of the PNG files?

I think Onyx lets you do that, as well as change the format. (I know it lets you change the format, but I believe it allows you to change the location as well.)

That said, I'm sure there's some way to do it in Terminal, but I'm not very well versed in Terminal commands.

You rock. My newly tidy desktop thanks you.

I'm considering issuing the Terminal command cited in the MacOSXhints.com link to redirect my screenshots elsewhere.
What would a person need to do to redirect them back to the desktop.... just type in THAT filepath?

I'm sure that would work. There might be some sort of "reset" command, but I'm betting it's just the same command with your desktop filepath.

Thanks, that's what I suspected

Does anyone know if the screenshot utility has been tweaked in Leopard to allow you to specify a different directory via a simple menu?
