Research direction
Start from the Edit > Take Screenshot entry point and trace where screenshots are currently saved to the Pictures folder. Review the surrounding screenshot and preferences flow; done means the issue’s requested custom default location or immediate Save As behavior is supported and verified.

Description
Hello and thank you for developing Pix!
I really like using Pix as a lightweight image viewer, and I recently discovered that it can also take screenshots via Edit > Take Screenshot. That’s a useful feature!
However, I noticed that all screenshots are saved directly to the default Pictures folder, without asking for a location or offering a way to change the default save path.
It would be very helpful if Pix could allow users to:
• set a custom default folder for saving screenshots (e.g. in preferences),
• or at least offer a "Save As…" dialog right after taking a screenshot.
This would make workflows with multiple screenshots much easier and more organized – especially when working on projects that require comparing or sorting images into dedicated folders.
Thanks for considering this suggestion, and thanks again for your work on Pix!
Best regards
