Re: [hatari-devel] Screenshots are saved in Hatari installation directory

Troed,

Yes, your screenshot capture change does work on macOS High Sierra. I tried three different screen capture directories and it worked each time. I had to reboot my Mac rather than simply log out in order for the change to take effect. From what I read, I should’ve been able to log out or use “killall SystemUIServer” from Terminal in order for the new preference to take effect, but it didn’t work for me.

I saw the known bug, but it sounds like you have already fixed that in a later version.
