Default Folder Path For Screenshots On Mac OSX

Here shows how to change default file type of screenshots to JPG on Mac OSX. Another trick is how to change the default folder path that the captured screenshots are saved. Screenshots are saved on Desktop by default. I want to change it to "/Users/netlynker/Pictures/Screenshots". I type the following command in Terminal.

$defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/netlynker/Pictures/Screenshots

I need to log out and log in again to make it affected immediately.
Now your screenshots will be saved in your preferred location in future.
