[SOLVED] How to change the screenshot location in GNOME MPV?

Hi.

By default, it outputs to the home folder. I'd like them to go in the Desktop folder.

Thanks.

These were already the contents of my .config/gnome-mpv/mpv.conf file:

Code:

save-position-on-quit
screenshot-directory=Desktop/

I copied them from my mpv config file - screenshots are saved to ~/Desktop in MPV but not in GNOME-MPV.

From their README.md:

Quote:

Configuration

Celluloid can be configured using the preferences dialog accessible via the "Preferences" menu item. Additional configuration options can be set from an external file using the same syntax as mpv's mpv.conf. See mpv's man page for the full list of options. The file must be specified and enabled in the preferences dialog under the "MPV Configuration" section.

Options can also be set using the "Extra MPV Options" text box in the preferences dialog. The syntax used is the same as mpv's command line options.

I'd rather stick with GNOME-MPV from the Debian Stable repos for now (Celluloid isn't in the repos - should be for Debian 11). But how can I get the screenshots to save to my Desktop folder rather than Home folder?

Once again.

I checked, this line was added to the README on Mar 11, 2015, long before GNOME-MPV was renamed Celluloid.

Thank you, shruggy. Done!
