Only if your screenshot is of the desktop. If it's a screenshot of a game or app, it will try to put it in its own folder
Thats not the main issue.
The issue is that screenshots DON'T BELONG in the
videosfolder and should go into thepictures/imagesfolder.I know and agree. Just adding a tidbit about desktop folder vs other folders
An “images” subdirectory of the “pictures” folder? That’s almost as bad as the OP example! I could see
pictures/screenshotsthough.I wasn't sure anymore what the windows folder name for pictures/images is (which is why the / isnt part of the path in my example :)).
How about just prompt the user, and then let them set the default right there by checking "use this location in the future (can be changed by going to preferences > screen recording > screenshots and selecting a new default location)".
I could probably write this is a day, and I haven't used spring since college.
Pretty sure nvidia lets you set the destination folder and the stupid one is the default. At least I have a fuzzy recollection of setting the video and screenshots folders.
Why not user/documents/nvidia/gfexperience/[app name]/? It records both screenshots and videos, and it makes sense it puts everything from one gaming session together. Making a subdirectory in Documents kinda erases the confusion.
But I can see why they did that. GFE was first and foremost created for ~~datamining~~ direct capture from one's videocard and in-game graphics optimization. Then, it happens, many started to use it for screenshotting because it sometimes get installed on PCs in place of driver and, unlike windows' screenshot tool and scissors tool just saves a file immediately. When I needed to make a lot of them, I defaulted to it too.
