[Waite, Dick (External)]

Grand Man Yourself Matthias,

In  ~/Pictures/*  in my case. When I open "Image Viewer" it was looking at it....

Now I can pass on my Registration issues, with screenshots to support. They will be happy chappies.

I had the same issue, until I learned that it is too simple to believe: just press the "Print" key on your keyboard, and you have a "Screenshot..." file in your home directory.

Now, if you do not want the full screen, you may press Shift-"Print" to select the region with the mouse. Press Enter, and done. Alt-"Print" gives you a screenshot of the window your mouse is over.

Admittedly, having the Screenshot* files in the home directory is not the perfect world, but the rest of this works quite well.

So long -
