For the Mac Savvy Folks...

[maturesuppliant]

I have a Mac and get tired of having to convert my files from PNG to JPEG manually after using the screen capture (command-shift-3) feature.

Does anyone know how to change the settings for screen capture to automatically JPEG (or some such desired file type)?

Open Terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpeg

That ought to take care of it. See? Isn't Unix fun and easy?
