HT201361 Can I change the directory where screen capture saves the png files?

hi:
screen capture questions:
1) Can I change the directory/place where the macbook (maverick osx) screen capture it putting the png/images?
Currently it is going to my desktop and I would like it in another spot.
2) Can I change the default name to include a number e.g so each screen capture increments by 1 rather than telling sequence by time?
thankyou

If you use the Grab.app in Applications/Utilities, you can name the file whatever you want and place it whereever you want. Filenames are not automatically incremented, however.
The disadvantage is that it saves the capture only in .tiff format, not .png
But double-clicking on the saved .tiff file will open it in Preview.app, and you can then Option+Save As in .png format in that same folder, or elsewhere.
Grab.app has some other nice features too, such as selecting a cursor shape to be displayed (or none), and doing a timed screen capture.
And of course there are other apps...
