Maybe the path should be in hatari.cfg (then it is configurable).
And don't break what already works for others.
I think a user-friendly software package should be customised

As a temporary workaround, isn't it possible to put a 'link' to Hatari
on the desktop? Then screen shots would go to the desktop.
