Is there a way to automatically save screenshots to the external SD card. With sailfish 2.0.4.14 Jolla introduced save picture and video to SD card.
I would like to automatically do the same for screenshots to the Picture folder on my external SD card.
Is there a hack to do that and point the script at a different folder? Is that something Jolla coild consider for future upgrades?

If you remove the Screenshots folder on the device, create a symlink from the Pictures folder on the SD card, rename this symlink to Screenshots and put it where the Screenshots folder on the device used to be, screenshots should now be saved on the SD card. A symlink basically tells the OS "no, don't look here, look there instead", so here it becomes "no, don't save here, save there instead".

coderus ( 2016-10-28 18:41:02 +0200 )editcoderus can you provide an example i know the command and how to create a symlink, but how would that automatically save screenshots to SD external? Maybe i dont understand how symlink works (in my mind its a Microsoft Shortcut)
