flameshot: Create a screenshot and save it to a specific path.
$ flameshot gui --path ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "flameshot gui --path ${path-to-directory}" is used to open the Flameshot graphical user interface (GUI) and set a specific directory as the default path for saving screenshots taken with Flameshot.

  • "flameshot" is the name of the command-line tool used for taking screenshots.
  • "gui" is an option that launches Flameshot with its GUI.
  • "--path" is a flag used to specify the path or directory where the screenshots will be saved.
  • "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that represents the actual path to the desired directory where you want to save the screenshots.

By using this command and replacing "${path-to-directory}" with the path to a directory on your system, you can set that directory as the default location for saving screenshots taken with Flameshot.
