Are there some missing bits in this recipe?  `C-f' after eval-ing that
form just moves point, it doesn't change what's prompted for.

In any case, in Emacs directories are supposed to end with a slash, so
the correct syntax would be:

(read-file-nameĀ  "Picture name:" "/tmp/" nil nil "defaultname.png")
