Hi. Any news on this? This desktop file always appears and I need to delete it every time I want to take a screenshot.

Where does it appear from? Do you create it? Some other program?

I don't know, I just have Arch with Plasma 6 installed from repos, it is default behaviour. Not me or other program create it
