[SOLVED] can't set up the Hyprshot dir

I'm trying to set the Hyprshot dir to /home/wonderfox/Screenshots so it won't clog up my Pictures folder with screenshots but for some reason it won't work, it keeps saving screenshots to my Pictures dir

I have added export HYPRSHOT_DIR=/home/wonderfox/Screenshots to my .bashrc and env = HYPRSHOT_DIR,/home/wonderfox/Screenshots to my hyprland.conf

what am I doing wrong?

Just to be sure, ~/Screenshots already exists? And "ls $HYPRSHOT_DIR" works without complaining?

@[email protected] @[email protected] yes to both

Okay, if launch hyprshot from terminal, not using keybind it still saves to Pictures?

@[email protected] @[email protected] when launched from terminal, it saves screenshots to their designated directory

@wonderfox_dev
After setting env HYPRSHOT_DIR in config did you restarted hyprland? Because afaik it doesnt change envs when running unlike binds and rules

@[email protected] @[email protected] it worked, thank you! it's just that Hyprland reloads with new config every time after it's changed and I thought it would update the variables too lol
