Hey David,

It still doesn't allow you to specify the location of the file (my desktop is for background pictures not files), nor the name of the file.

The freeware utility Onyx will let you change the format, destination, and filename of screenshots.  Look in the 'General' tab of the 'Parameters' section.

There's another more specialized freeware utility savescreenie2 that I think works in Snow Leopard.

There used to be a nice little preference pane, but that seems to have evaporated.

Of course you can do it from the terminal

defaults read com.apple.screencapture

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type <format>

Availible formats are :
png
pdf
jpg
jp2
gif
tif
bmp
pict
tga

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location <path>

defaults write com.apple.screencapture name <string>

killall SystemUIServer


If you want more options buy a utility like Snapz Pro.
