Spectacle at the moment of reproducing the bug

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle configuration, go to General, disable 'After tasking screenshot: Autosave file to default folder', confirm
2. Press PrtSc or other screenshot hot key
3. When Spectacle appears, choose Export > GNU Image Manipulation Program

OBSERVED RESULT
A Spectacle message says 'The screenshot was saved as ScreenshotXYZ.png', the file appears in ~/Pictures.

EXPECTED RESULT
No files are created.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nicolas Fella 2022-01-23 23:08:12 UTC 
well, a file has to be created _somewhere_ to be able to open it in another app.

See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448232 for why it is saved where it is
