Error when taking screenshot [Resolved]

Hello, when trying to take a screenshot via print scrn or using Super+space>image>Take Screenshot, I get this error:

Failed to open file '/home/sb/images/2009-2-05--1233906891_1024x768_scrot.png': No such file or directory

The screenshot is taken despite the error. How can I fix this?

It seems to be linked to your problem of wallpaper changing : your folder ~/images can't be reached.
Make sure this folder exists (take care it's named "images", not "Images")

Are you using PrtSc? f so, Cceck in the menu.rc file for:

<keybind key="Print">
      <action name="Execute">
        <execute>scrot '%Y-%m-%d--%s_$wx$h_scrot.png' -e 'mv $f ~/images/ &amp; gpicview ~/images/$f'</execute>
      </action>
</keybind>

Make sure the path where gpicview is looking is correct. Make sure gpicview is installed. That's all I can think of...

creating the images folder solved the problem. Thanks.

Resolved.
