Where Does Xfce Screenshooter Store Config?
Xfce Screenshooter Xfconf channel with save override behavior.
Last updated
Screenshooter stores options as an Xfconf channel, not a flat file. The per-channel XML holds the live values. Save overrides arrive per capture through flags.
No standalone config file exists under the app name. The dialog memory plus timestamped names cover the save side. Keep backup to the channel XML.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Screenshooter?
Copy the channel XML with the app closed. Save prefs travel inside it. Restoring means putting the file back before launch. Screenshots themselves need separate backup.
How do save locations work?
A save flag overrides file or dir per capture. The dialog remembers the last folder starting from home. Default filenames carry timestamps.
