How to change screenshot filetype

[vostrushka]

I would like to change screenshot (when F3 pressed) file type from TIFF to PNG. I am not talking about Grab.app in this case.
Does anybody know which pfile holds this parameter?

I found it:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type png
killall SystemUIServer

To change the default format for screencap images, type the following in Terminal.app:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg (or whatever extension you prefer)​

To change the default folder for screencap images, type the following in Terminal.app:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location "/Users/username/Desktop/" (or whatever path you prefer)​

screenshots to automatically number instead of date/time stamp?

Does anyone know how to get the screenshots to label automatically as a number the way it used to do in Leopard? That would be so helpful.
