Prevent Windows file explorer from uninvited opening
« on: February 04, 2023, 01:35 AM »
I'm sure some like it, but I find the immediate appearance of Windows file manager the moment I save some screen grab, an annoyance.

This seems to be new behavior on my (new) system.

So is there a way for everyone to be happy (can I disable the opening of file explorer by SC)?

Thanks

Yes, I think this is the option you are looking for, which by default opens windows file explorer after you do a "save as":

Uncheck the last option on the "Miscellaneous Tweaks" tab of preferences.
