Default line

captures=capture

does not work in linux. At least screenshots are not saved. You need to give the full path for it to work:

captures=/home/$username/.dosbox/capture/

    I'd need more details as it works for me.
    which configuration file is being used ? (as the path for captures is relative to that)

      the path for captures is relative to that
      Ah, so that's what it was. My bad. I thought all captures would be saved in "capture" within dosbox configuration directory, which is in my case ~/.dosbox. Didn't think that it's relative to conf file, and I use separate conf files for each game in the game folder, so I should have just looked there. But when I didn't find screenshots in ~/.dosbox/capture, I just started giving absolute path to "/home/denis/Pictures/Screenshots" in my conf files, so I never found out that it's not a bug.
