[QUOTE="surfwax95, post: 202963, member: 12561"] I don't know about permenantly changing the file type, but if you just want to do a screenshot type in Terminal: sleep 10; screencapture ~/Desktop/Screenshot.png The sleep command gives you 10 seconds (you can change it) to minimize the Terminal window and you can save it to wherever you want and with whatever filetype you want (as long as it's supported by Quicktime and Preview). Another example: sleep 30; screencapture ~/Pictures/MyScreen.pdf [/QUOTE]
