Package: screen
Version: 4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-7
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Debian folks,


using the Grml live system based on Debian, which uses the same package
in Debian and which has the config option `hardcopydir` set to
`~/.hardcopy`, writing a hardcopy of the current window, Screen notifies
the user, that the file is created in `/home/grml/.hardcopy/hardcopy.0`.
But the file is not actually created when the folder does not exist.
This might cause data loss when users trust Screen’s feedback.

One solution might be to update the documentation or even better in my
opinion, create that directory the user specified.


Thanks,

Paul
