As a first time user of browserim clicking Screenshot > Save looks like it does nothing.
As it turns out it is actually saving funky timestamped .png's into my home folder.
I think that is a bad default behavior.
Here is my suggestion:
A) prefix the file with browsersim- (making it easier to find)
B) use a ISO date format instead of the current mix of _'s and -'s. i.e. 2013-04-17-103221.png or just 20130417103221.png
C) if user have not set preferences (i.e. blank field) ask the user on his first Save > to specify which folder to save to.
D) on Screenshot > Save show dialog stating the full path of the save file in a way that makes it possible to copy/paste the path (maybe even copy/paste it to the clipboard).
Option D could be made more smooth/better by having something like:
Title: Screenshot saved
Text: Screenshot saved to [filename].
[ ] Copy path to clipboard
[ ] Do this always and do not show this again
[Ok] [Cancel]
And as usual have a "reset dialog settings" in preferences to reset this.
Then on first users they are informed about where the file is saved and can get to it instantly - and experienced users can just dismiss this dialog and have the action they want every time.
