Not working on 3.34 (3.33.9*) (Ubuntu 19.10 developmental branch)

[fcole90]

Since the update to 3.33.9* the screenshot location is no longer respected. Whatever the path, the screenshot gets always saved under $USER/Pictures.

I can see this in the logs:

JS WARNING: [/home/fabio/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/keybinder.js 125]: reference to undefined property "MESSAGE_TRAY"

Let me know how I can help.

Looks like a breaking change in 3.33 that may affect many extensions 😄 I'll look into setting up a 19.10 VM when I have free time.

I've just upgraded to gnome-shell-3.34.2-1.fc31.x86_64 in Fedora 31 and also bumped into that problem.

The issue is with the vendored keybinder.js, if anyone has time to look into it. I do not have any internet outside work so it's not easy to work on this issue. Here's a workaround which basically does what the extension does:

Disable the default screenshot keyboard shortcut:

Add a new shortcut with the Print key:

Change the gnome-screenshots save directory with dconf Editor or using the cli:

gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-screenshot auto-save-directory /path/to/screenshots

There was an API change between 3.34 and 3.36 that renders #11 broken on those versions before. I'm open to PRs if anyone still wants to add in support for older versions that I do not personally use.
