i.e. allow option to specify what directory to save into.

try -e or e.g.

$  scrot "$HOME/Pictures/shot-%Y-%m-%dT%H%M%S.png"

sorry, i mean to say allow just specifying the directory and let scrot still handle the filename.

fawaf commented

sure, but that is running an external command. would be great if scrot supported that natively.

no, IMO it wouldn't. It's perfectly fine however for one cmdline tool to leverage another. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy#Do_One_Thing_and_Do_It_Well
