Saving Screenshots

I have a new macbook pro 15 inch with touchbar.  I've put the screenshot / grabber utility so that it launches from the touchbar fine and I can take a screenshot.  However the default save location is 'tmp' (I've atatched a screenshot to show you what I mean) which does not exist on my computer (and I don't have dropbox).  If I navigate in preview and save to another folder, then it will save.  However if I don't, the image disappears.  I could change the file name to something unique and do a complete search of my entire disk for a file with that name and get no results.  Searching for a folder called 'tmp' also has no results.

I have tried the following terminal commands:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Screenshots

(to force the app to save to my /Sreenshots folder that i created

and then

killall SystemUIServer

This does nothing at all.  The default save location does not change.  And any screenshot I take is still disappearing unless I specify change the location in the drop down of preview.

Does anyone have any ideas that could help me figure this out?

What exactly do you mean by the "the screenshot / grabber utility"?

That command only changes the default save path for using the keyboard shortcuts Command-Shift-3, Command-Shift-4, Command-Shift-4 then space.

If using the "Grab.app" then it should prompt for a save path every time.  I would guess that you can set the default path for the "Grab.app" save location by opening "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.plist" in a text editor and modifying a path in there.  I'm just guessing but it may work.

I have customized my touchbar to have the screenshot application launch from there.  So I don't need to cmd-shift-3.  I just press the button on the touch bar and it takes a screenshot, as I've shown in the image I uploaded.

From terminal you can change the location ex: Desktop

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Desktop

How to Change Screenshot Save Location

as I mentioned in my post, defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Screenshot is the first thing I tried.  That does not change the location of where my screenshots are saving and in fact they are NOT saving, because I could take a screenshot, save it to the default 'tmp' folder and then search my entire hard disk for that single saved file and not find it.  So screenshots are not saving into my computer at all, UNLESS I change the default folder using the dropdown.  Then that 1 image will save to the folder.  Next screenshot, same problem all over again.

Sounds like you are saving to the clipboard.  Clipboard only holds one image.

How to take a screenshot of the Touch Bar

If you have a Mac with a Touch Bar and macOS Sierra 10.12.2:

1. Press Shift-Command-6.
2. Find the screenshot as a .png file on your desktop.

Yes it is saving to clipboard.  My question is how do I change the default location / folder to where the images will save.

I posted everything you need above—

From terminal you can change the location ex: Desktop

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Desktop

How to Change Screenshot Save Location

If in doubt  of the correct path to  "your folder," open terminal copy and paste:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location

including  the space at the end, then drag "your folder" to the terminal window and it will complete the path for the full command.

I found that it works fine if you don't add:

killall SystemUIServer

So all I typed was:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Desktop/SCREENSHOTS/

...and it saved the screenshots to the designated folder. If I typed the "killall" line it saved them to the desktop.

Whether omitting the "killall" line presents other problems, only time will tell...

That does not change the location of where my screenshots are saving and in fact they are NOT saving, because I could take a screenshot, save it to the default 'tmp' folder and then search my entire hard disk for that single saved file and not find it.

Exactly the same problem here - I have a macbook pro 15 inch with touchbar, MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 and I can not make it save the screenshots anywhere but to the tmp folder

Thank you, but as for me, I would like to know if this is a bug or some kind of feature of MBP 15 with touch bar on Sierra. AFAIK it's a bug, but I suppose there is no sufficient evidence yet.

On my Macbook Pro with touchbar, there is no "/com.apple.Grab.plist" in the folder "~/Library/Preferences/"
