Where Does Ksnip Store Settings?
Ksnip keeps settings in ~/.config/ksnip/ksnip.conf on Linux. Pin path, uploader, and annotation defaults live there.
Last updated
Ksnip stores its configuration in one INI file under ~/.config/ksnip. Capture paths, upload accounts, and default annotation styles all live there as plain keys.
The file edits cleanly by hand when the app is closed. Open it to fix a moved screenshot folder faster than clicking through settings. Keep a copy with dotfiles and new installs feel instant.
Where Ksnip stores this, by platform
~/.config/ksnip/ksnip.conf
Single settings file. Plain INI, safe to version with dotfiles. Edit while Ksnip is closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate Ksnip settings?
Copy ~/.config/ksnip/ksnip.conf to the new machine with Ksnip closed. It carries screenshot paths, Imgur settings, and tool defaults in one file.
How do I change the Ksnip save folder?
Open settings and change the save directory, or edit the savePath key in ksnip.conf directly. New captures follow it immediately.
