Blender wont save images

Question

This should be a simple question. I am unable to save any images I render in blender. I set the output to be "/home/john/Pictures/binary.png", the image type to PNG, and checked the "File Extensions" box. Then when I press f12 (Or Render > Render Image), there is nothing new in my pictures folder. I've tried running blender using graphical root (gksu), and it still wont let me save anything.

You have to manually save renders.

• First you start with a scene you want to render.

• After setting up your image settings, hit f12 to Render.

• Now you will get a rendered image in your viewport (under the UV/Image editor).

• However, this image is not saved automatically.

• To save it, you need to click on the image menu:

• And you will get the option to save the image:
