Configure screenshot save location

[Soundtoxin]

State your operating system:

Linux, gtk3 version.

DesMuME version

0.9.13 (from GNU Guix repository)

Issue

When I take a screenshot with ctrl-s it seems to save to ~/Desktop, a directory I don't usually use. It might've even made that directory because there's nothing else in it besides my screenshots. It didn't ask me where to save and I don't see a spot to configure that. If there isn't an option already to do so, I would like a way to configure the location, maybe via config.cfg, but also via the GUI would probably be a good idea.

Desktop is a fallback directory if standard images directory is not found. Check your DE configuration, you are probably missing it.

I use Sway and it doesn't create any default directories. If you're talking about ~/Pictures, I have my own created ~/pictures and it'd bug me to have a duplicate or have to capitalize the one I have, so I still think this should be user-configurable. I would've expected ~/ or whatever the PWD was when launching as a fallback.

Right now there're no options to configure any directories. If Pictures dir is not found, Desktop is checked, if that is not found either, then home dir is used. As a simple solution I can remove Desktop from check or replace it with Documents check for example.

I have a lowercase "documents" I made already as well, haha. Well, consider this a feature request for configurable directories in the config then. I'll just deal with the current behavior for now. Although I also wonder if you could check for lowercase versions of these directories and use one if it exists. If my desmume screenshots appeared in my ~/pictures directory, that would be okay. Although ideally I would probably make something more specific just for desmume like ~/pictures/desmume and put that in my config.

GTK3 frontend uses gtk functions to check for user specific directories, it does not check for them using directory names, so I can't "check" for lower- or upper-case. I'll keep your request in mind.

I didn't realize that, interesting. If I use desmume-cli instead can I set a screenshot directory? Also, can I make it read my other config so I don't need to set up my keys again?

if 58bbe69 is ported to gtk+3 frontend, then when changing keys in the gtk frontend, it will write a proper section for the purely SDL based cli frontend.

Ok, I'll do it.

@Soundtoxin, try saving key config with latest git GTK3 (I've ported the commit for that), should help you to switch to cli.

Thanks, my keys now carry over to the CLI version, very cool.
