By default images of valid objects will be saved in the filename format:
$HOME/PySkySlideshow/object-width-height-resolution-scaling.png
To change the location of the saved images, you can add the following line to the user_prefs.cfg file:
slideshow_dir=
Followed by the directory to save in. The folder PySkySlideshow will be created in the specified directory.
slideshow_dir=/home/allen
This will set the directory to save the images as:
slideshow_dir=/home/allen/PySkySlideshow/
