Any chance Ubuntu could introduce a option where you can rename a screen shot before the screen shot is saved? Not sure when I can submit this feature

Its such a drag in trawling through your screen shots to find what you want, a better way would be to take the screen shot and just before you save the screen shot there is a option where the screenshot can be saved before its saved. I have done a search and would like to suggest this idea to the Ubuntu dev team. I dont hink it would be that hard to implement.

There are many screenshot tools out there, so which one do you use?

Try flameshot. It is a very feature rich screenshot tool.

There are a number of screenshot tools, and at least one already does what you say you want (*I always opt to provide file-name when I make screenshots too; by default my tool shows me the screenshot & only saves it if I select to allowing me to provide name based on prior name or use SAVE AS to have a new name*)

Screenshot is actually not strictly an Ubuntu feature, but a GNOME feature in general, so feature request (if any) should be sent to GNOME developers. But I doubt they will do it, as they purposefully changed the behavior of that feature. Previously, after taking a screenshot, it popped up a dialog window asking what do you want to do with it. Now it just saves the screenshot without asking anything - so I doubt they will restore the old behavior. Apparently you can replace GNOME screenshot utility with MATE screenshot utility, which still behaves the old way, but I haven't tried it.

Thank you so much for these alternative options.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
