So how big is your STO screenshots folder?

I stumbled across mine today and noticed I've surpassed 7 thousands screenshots or about 10 gigs worth! So many now that the folder is starting to look my my itunes library. Too many to ever listen to/look at without dying of old age. :o

    0 Bytes. I almost never take screenshots. If I do, it's usually just for something else I'm looking at - so once I'm done with that - I delete it.

    10 gigs? SERIOUSLY? :eek:

    I have screenshots since launch, both holo, tribble, and through Steam. All of it adds up to about ~700 megs.

    I delete mine after I use them in my blog. I have a few (like, less than 10), that I'm hanging on to. But once they serve their purpose I don't want to waste drive space on them.

    When I'm working on a blog post, I usually have around 50 or so shots waiting. I take a bunch and use the ones that seem most relevant. Then --*poof*-- I delete them. I'm not a hoarder. I don't need a million pics of the same characters, the same missions, and the same blah blah blah...

    I only have 11 images in the folder. I've been playing this game for a year now. I don't take many screenshots when it comes to games.

    I've only got about 5.5 gigs of STO screenshots here at home. I'd guess a little less than that still at work. But remember, I've only been here for a little over 2 years.

    My Champs folder is 36 gigs.

    Oh, and we take most of our shots as TGAs and upresed if they're going to be used for promotional stuff.

    Unfortunately not that large thanks to my previous harddrive being sold to me by a dishonorable Ferangi on DS9. (It broke taking its contents to the grave)

    Only a couple. I usually upload my screens and then delete them from the folder so it stays pretty empty. :D

    Only 10 GB in your iTunes folder? Wow. Small collection. My iTunes library folder has 116 GB in it. Not that I have a whole lot of time to listen to all those songs/compositions either. Sometimes I just hit "random play" to see what gets chosen.

    99.5 mb.

    But that's miniscule compared to my Skyrim screenshots folder. 2.06gb, and that's all jpg's.

    /screenshot will take a tga. /screenshot_jpg will take a jpg.

    Currently my screenshots folder is sitting at 560MB, 1172 images. Also, my desktop uses this folder as a source for random wallpapers that shuffle every 30 minutes.

    Since I've been taking my screenshots in Steam...
    eh... I think my folder's pretty small with just costume saves.

    Out of curiosity, how is the print screen key set up by default? It usually saves a JPEG, but occasionally saves a targa instead.

    My screenshots folder is at 24MB right now. I usually delete any ones I don't want to keep, and upload the ones I do.

    Only about 650MB if you include both Holodeck and Tribble.

    I believe it takes TGA if you're in a cutscene.

    Only 512 MB on Holodeck, all JPG.

    My 'Logs' folder though is at almost 5 GB. Nice collection of Wins and Fails (including mine). :P

    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
