How to do it on Windows
Adjust Preferences to control the destination picker and automatic output workflow. Before changing capture or export settings, save any important existing work and check the Windows notification area for a running Greenshot process.
- Step 1. Open Greenshot Preferences from the tray menu.
- Step 2. Review destination settings and choose between prompted and direct-save actions.
- Step 3. Capture a test region and compare the actual outcome with your preference.
How to verify the result
The expected destination should open after each capture. Check the actual image file or open capture result instead of relying only on a successful shortcut animation. If the expected output is missing, repeat the task with a known local folder and the tray-menu command.
Common limitation or mistake
For repeatable troubleshooting, record your Windows version, Greenshot release, capture mode and chosen destination. Changing one setting at a time makes it easier to identify which adjustment helped.
