as of Cinnamon 6.2.9, the recorder/screencast tool (see, System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Screenshots and Recording -> Toggle recording desktop (must restart Cinnamon)) has no documented way of setting an output folder. With "well known" folders available, these currently get sent to $HOME/Videos.
The current options in dconf are: file-extension, framerate, and pipeline
file-extension's default value is webm, and its description mentions
The filename for recorded screencasts will be a unique filename based on the current date, and use this extension. It should be changed when recording to a different container format.
framerate's default value is 15, it does not allow for any extra input.
pipeline's default value is none, but the description mentions that if it is none, this will be used: videorate ! vp8enc quality=10 speed=2 threads=%T ! queue ! webmmux
It is clear to me that none of these options allow setting a output path without modifying the pipeline in unsupported ways.
Proposed change:
Add a dconf key that will represent the output path of the file, if its value may be none or invalid, XDG_VIDEOS_DIR or alternatively, $HOME shall be used. Otherwise, if there is a valid path set the output file will get saved to that directory.
