Change Default File Type and Path for Screen Captures [Mac Tips]
Copyright © 2008 John Kolbert. Visit the original article at http://simply-basic.com/posts/1941482.

Mac only - I frequently use Mac’s built in screen capture ability to create the images you see on Simply-Basic. By default the screenshots are saved to your desktop has a PNG. Before I’d upload them to the web I have to manually convert them to JPGs in Preview. Not anymore.

The following changes require you to restart your computer.

To change the default file type for screen captures, open Terminal and enter the following and then press enter:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type format

For example: defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg, you could also enter pdf, tiff, png, etc.

To change the default path for saved screen captures, open Terminal and enter the following:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location path

For example, enter defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/John/Desktop/Screens

Important: You’ll need to restart your computer for these changes to take effect.

It joins other sites, such as Digg, ABC, CBS, Hulu, Plaxo, StumbleUpon, Twitter, Vimeo, and others. Looks like Facebook is the new “Open ID”. Rumor has it that a WordPress/Facebook integration plugin is already in the works.
