[X4U] Default Screen Capture format?

[nk]

I typed that string you show below, except for "png" I typed first  
"jpeg" then  "jpg" ( I mean I tried one, then the other )

I tested it by taking a Shift-Cmd-3 screen cap, which deposited a  
file on the desktop; its icon said PICT.

tried it several times making extra sure that I typed the string as  
given, putting all the spaces and periods in the right spot.
