Screenshots and jpgs
#Mac
On my old MacBookPro when I took a screenshot it would go to desktop.? On this machine it used to go to Dropbox and suddenly they now to clipboard. I have no idea how to access clipboard. I used to be able to pull off a jpg from website to desktop.? Now it "acts" like I am doing that but there is no image on my desktop.? Where is it going? Doris? MacacBookPro 2018 Mojave 10.14.6 |

What keys are you using to create a screen shot? ?I just did cmd-shift-4 and selected the area I wanted and it saved to the desktop. If you do cmd-shift-4 and control then it goes to the clipboard. In Finder¡¯s Edit menu you can ¡°Show Clipboard¡± to see what¡¯s there or you could just paste into a document. Dave? |
I am doing?cmd-shift-4 ?but not control, only?cmd-shift-4. I found the clipboard but nothing is in/on it. How can I get to go back to putting screenshots on desktop, or even in Dropbox? So did a screenshot just now and in clipboard it says ? - Screenshot %202019-10-26%2021.26.33.png?dl=0 or something like that.? No actual screenshot. Nothing I can copy or move. I don't understand this. Doris On Sat, Oct 26, 2019 at 6:55 PM Dave Kelly via Groups.Io <drkelly=[email protected]> wrote:

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýTry this from iMore:How to choose a save location for screenshots and screen recordings on macOS Mojave Although you can choose from a limited set of locations to save your screenshots and recordings after you make them, you can also pre-select a destination beforehand.

Howdy.
Everything you ever wanted to know about ScreenShots but weren't afraid to ask. I haven't tried or tested the "A" part, changing Default File Format, for a couple of years. The Terminal can be very useful and can be used without learning complex Unix commands. Tip. You can copy Terminal commands and paste them into Terminal at the prompt. Copy from this message, copy from article on the web, etc. A. Change Default File Format of Screenshots. 1. Launch the Terminal app (found in Applications/Utilities). 2. Change the screenshot format to JPG, TIFF, GIF, PDF, or PNG. At the Terminal prompt, type in the command: defaults write com.apple.screencapture type followed by a space, then type the relevant format suffix. ... (JPG, or, TIFF, or GIF, or PDF, or, PNG). 3. Press Enter. -Note. Just use Quit command to end the Terminal session. B. How to Change the Default Location for Screenshots. -Create a folder for your screen captures. -Launch the Terminal app (found in Applications/Utilities). Make sure you can drag this new folder into the Terminal window after typing in the following command. -Type in the following command and then press the spacebar, but don't hit Enter just yet: defaults write com.apple.screencapture location -Now drag the folder you just created into the Terminal window. The folder's path should appear after the command you typed in. -Press Enter. -Note. Dragging a folder into the Terminal window is a way to create a path to that folder without typing that command into Terminal. C. Use Screenshot app. -macOS systems used to include an app called Grab.app that was for doing a variety of screen captures. -macOS now has an app named Screenshot.app for doing this. By default it's on the Dock unless removed by user in which case it will be in the Applications folder. A white square tilted icon. (Tip: Most of the apps included by Apple have tilted icons.) D. Article on screen caps and where to save. <> E. Article on the older keyboard commands for screen captures. <> F. Drag a jpg from a website to Desktop. If you are using Google Images, Google has changed the behavior. You may see a bunch of images after a search. Click one and it should appear in larger form on the right of the Google window. Do a right-click on that larger image and pick Save Image as... from the Contextual menu. Some web sites restrict doing this. Others may place a sort of clear image over the actual image so it doesn't work (not sure how to describe it) and then the Screencap.app can be used. G. System Preferences > Keyboard panel > Shortcuts tab. -Take a look here for specific info on the several keyboard commands like Shift Command 3. Good luck.
