Lion Screenshots...

It works fine for me... I don't know what you could do, apart from the obvious: have you tried rebooting? I've heard that some problems get fixed after 2-3 reboots after installation.

I get them on the desktop.

Otherwise look in finder for the file, this is how it get saved: Screen Shot 2011-07-24 at 20.28.09

working fine here...

The very first time I did a screenshot it didn't save to the desktop. Every since then though every one has saved directly to the desktop.

It's not just Lion. It happens with Leopard and Snow Leopard from time to time too. I had this problem maybe 4-5 times. It's caused by the Finder i think.

What do you use to do the screen shot?

because: Shift+Command+3 saves on the desktop
while: Shift+Command+4 saves on the clipboard

Click to expand...

Shift+Command+4 lets you choose what area of the screen you wanna screenshot and still saves it to the desktop?

- But nope, Screenshots are working fine for me!

Working fine here, not sure what to suggest.

have you looked at your desktop from a window? nothing there?? odd one...

check Onyx again (are you running the beta for 10.7? u should be...).
see if changing something there (i.e. file type) helps...

I am having problems with Quicktime in 10.7 in that every time I click on Play, I end up in the Finder, and the video does not play -- the only way to get the video to start is to CMD-Tab to QT and hit the spacebar.

So, I then did something really stupid: I ran TinkerTool and reset everything to System defaults to see if this would resolve my problem. READ ON.....

I had screen capture set to PDF and to be saved in a folder on the Desktop called Screen Shots (via Terminal but couldn't find my original instructions).

The default for screen capture is to save to Clipboard, so after every capture you have to go to Preview and File>New from Clipboard, then save the Preview document.

After "losing" nearly 20+ screen captures, I ran TinkerTool and there is an option to choose format of the screen capture (JPEG, TIFF, PDF, etc) and location (Desktop, Folder, etc). I set up the screen capture the way it used to be, logged out, logged back in and tested.

Everything works fine now.
