Expected:
Be able to change the directory where the screenshots are saved, either from Settings (GUI) or from gsettings (cli).
What happens:
Screenshots are unconditionally saved to the Pictures directory (XDG_PICTURES_DIR).
Temporary Workaround:
Use a specific extension: Screenshot Locations (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1179/screenshot-locations/)
Previous discussion:
The bug was previously reported 5 years ago on bugzilla 699642 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699642) and closed as WONTFIX.
I'm reporting here again, as I hope the time is ripe for a reconsideration, given how many users are affected and willing to see this solved.
