macOS – How to Change Default Screenshot Name in OS X Lion

macososx lionscreenshot

In OS X Lion, when I press cmd+shift+4 and then space, I take a screenshot of an app.

But I use my OS in Spanish, and the screenshot file name is very long with spaces and "(,)" chars.

How can I change the default name of screenshots?

Best Answer

From Apple discussions:

sudo su
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/Resources/Spanish.lpro j
plutil -convert xml1 ScreenCapture.strings
vim ScreenCapture.strings

Change

<key>%@ %@ at %@</key>
          <string>%@ %@ a la(s) %@</string>

to

<key>%@ %@ at %@</key>
          <string>%@ %@_at_%@</string>

Then:

plutil -convert binary1 ScreenCapture.strings
killall SystemUIServer
