Turn Off macOS Mojave Screenshot Preview Thumbnails

mojavescreen capture

I'm reading this article, it works.

But how can I turn off macOS Mojave screenshot preview thumbnails with defaults write command?

I just don't know the key value to use.

Best Answer

The domain is com.apple.screencapture and the key is show-thumbnail. So:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture show-thumbnail -bool TRUE

and

defaults write com.apple.screencapture show-thumbnail -bool FALSE

Final Cut Pro 10.4.3 Mojave Compatibility

I just upgraded to Mojave on the weekend and FCP works fine for me. I'm running FCP 10.4.4. Maybe you should update to that version?

I can't recall when I updated FCP, but it was before upgrading to Mojave. Good luck! :-)

With Mojave (macOS 10.14), why does the Message app close itself

This is a feature introduced in macOS Lion 10.7 in 2011. If you're only noticing this since Mojave, that's a bug or the following setting you changed previously has been reset to default.

By default, since Lion, apps which support automatic termination with no open windows and not activated will quit after an idle period.

To disable this for all apps, override NSSupportsAutomaticTermination:

defaults write -g NSSupportsAutomaticTermination -bool false

To find apps which support automatic termination in your /Applications folder, you can use

grep -nl NSSupportsAutomaticTermination /Applications/*/Contents/Info.plist

Note that automatic termination is distinct to functionality more commonly used by third-party apps: applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed(_:).
