Where Does Cheese Save Photos?
Cheese saves photos and videos to dated folders under Pictures on Linux. Output roots and settings pattern.
Last updated
Cheese splits captures from settings. Photos and videos land in dated folders under Pictures with booth and camera roots. Preferences live in dconf.
That split keeps media portable across machines with matching cameras. Copy the dated folders for the pictures. Dump the dconf path for countdown and resolution behavior.
Where Cheese stores this, by platform
~/Pictures/Cheese Photo Booth/
Dated stills and clips below booth and camera roots. Copy the folders for the media. Settings live separately in dconf under the Cheese path.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my Cheese photos?
Open the Pictures folder for Cheese Photo Booth and Cheese Camera dated subfolders. Stills and clips sort by capture date inside them. Files taken before a storage change stay in the old root.
Where are Cheese settings?
In dconf under the Cheese path, edited through Preferences or dconf Editor. Output roots, countdown and burst options live there rather than text files. Treat dconf as the source of truth for behavior.
