Diverting screenshots from the Desktop
Downloads
is by far the busiest folder on my Mac. Almost all files to Downloads before other destinations. Hazel keeps a watchful eye on Downloads
and does all sorts of file moving magic, never leaving anything there for more than 24 hours.
For some silly reason I’ve always accepted that screen shots in OS X (now macOS) are saved directly to the Desktop
. Today I finally learned that screen shots, too, can go straight to Downloads
(or any other folder). No more F11
‘ing to view my Desktop
. Now, like all other download-esque files, I can grab recent screen shots from the fan view of my Downloads
dock shortcut.
