Description
* Cinnamon 3.6.9
* Distribution - Mint 19.0
Issue
When I launch the Screenshot app, whatever the option, it remembers the last used path to store the screenshots.
It doesn't when it is triggered by pressing the PrintScreen key.
Steps to reproduce
- Launch the screenshot app
- Choose a mode (whatever)
- Save the image in a specific folder
- Close the app
- reopen the app
- Choose a mode (whatever)
- The last used folder is shown again
- Press
PrintScreenkey
Expected behaviour
- The last used folder is shown again
Other information
Currently, the default "Pictures" folder is used.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the difference between launching the Screenshot app and pressing the PrintScreen key, then trace both entry points and how the last used folder is loaded. Done means PrintScreen uses the previously selected folder instead of the default Pictures folder, while the existing app behavior remains unchanged.
