22.04screenshot
I used to use gnome-screenshot or flameshot. Nowadays, in new Ubuntu versions, 22.04 or newer, there is a new "in-app" to take screenshots or screencasts, "Take a Screenshot" in Activities. It seems very useful BUT I would like to configure, for instance, the name of the output .png image files.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
It is not actually possible change it easily, maybe you can help with this bug report.
(for the curious, check the source code. Currently, relevant line is 134)
Update: The bug was fixed upstream on 2015-01-28, replacing colons with dashes, which helps. But they didn't take the space out unfortunately.
after you log out or restart the computer, the old gnome-screenshot is removed, so you need to reinstall it to make the old command to work.
sudo apt install gnome-screenshot
Settings → keyboard → keyboard shortcuts → custom shortcuts
Custom shortcuts are at the end of list
gnome-screenshot -c -a
I'm using Shift + Ctlr + Delete shortcut so that it doesn't interfere with the new 42 screenshot shortcuts."
Shift+Print takes a screenshotPrint take a screenshot interactivelyAlt+Print take a screenshot of a windowShift+Ctrl+Alt+R record a screencast interactivelyWhen you press ALT+PRINT throws a message
you can paste the image from the clipboard
To change keyboard shortcuts in GUI:
Settings -> keyboard -> keyboard shortcuts -> Screenshots.

Unfortunately no. No options to change the behavior of the build-in screenshot tool are exposed.
The new screenshot tool in Ubuntu 22.04 and up is integral part of Gnome Shell. No options to change the behavior are exposed. Thus, it would require editing source code to change the behavior.
The only way to have the screenshot functionality work in a different way is to use an external tool that exposes the configuration you want. You can replace the existing keybindings with commands that call your tool with the desired options.
The classical
gnome-screenshottool remains available, and continues to work fine, also under Wayland. It allows to specify where to save screenshots and under what name.
