When I take a screenshot using the default buttons on my phone
the screenshot is always saved to the internal sdcard instead
of the much larger external sdcard.

Is there a screenshot program that saves to the removable sdcard?

I have been all over the Settings > More > Storage
menu, and there's nothing like that option.

There "is" the option inside of *some* apps to store
stuff on the SD Card, such as inside of Firefox or
inside of OSMAnd~, but there are no settings in Android
Jellybean for Screenshot as far as I can find.

That's why I asked for help from the experts.

Does *anyone* on Jellybean store their Screenshots on the SD Card?
How?

Funny you should mention a file mover tool because I had *just*
finished a test, which worked! Using a file mover tool!

Here's what worked, for me, because I could not find a screenshot
program for Android that allowed you to put the screenshots on
the external SD card.

App Backup & Restore: Settings > Edit Backup Path >
FROM: /storage/emulated/0/App_Backup_Restore
TO: /storage/exSdCard/apk_backup
Screenshot: Move where it stores the default to the sdcard1 using URSafe
URSafe Media Redirector by Venator Software Media & Video
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?
id=com.venator.app.mediaredirector
a. Snap a screenshot so you have at least one in /device/storage/sdcard0/
Pictures
b. With ES File Explorer, create a folder /device/storage/exSdCard/
snapshot
c. Start URSafe Media Redirector (free - which is limited to 1
redirection)
d. Click ‘Manage Redirections’ (on the bottom)
e. Click ‘Add’
f. Click ‘Path from Browse Folder’ button and choose the old screenshot
folder
From: /device/storage/sdcard0/Pictures/Screenshots/
g. Press "Select Current Folder" (on the bottom)
h. then press ‘Path to Browse Folder’ and specify a location on the SD
Card
TO: /storage/exSdCard/snapshot
i. Press "Select Current Folder" (on the bottom)
j. Toggle ‘Activation switch’ on
k. Press "Save"
l. On the main screen, click the red ‘Media Redirector Started’ button,
to turn it green,
m. Make sure that the ‘Auto stat on boot’ checkbox is checked
n. Test by noticing that all the Screenshots were mmoved to the sdcard1
o. Test by snapping a new screenshot and noticing it also goes to the
sdcard1

On v. 2.3.5, afaict, no there's not. Instead, I find I always rename it
first (so as the better to find it later), and then later to select all the
recent screenshots (in \data\screenshot\) for easier moving to the external
microSD card. HTH. Cheers, -- tlvp
