When I press `C-X C-S` and then try make screenshot save message
`Wrote {{file-name}}` disappears. How to preserve it while making
screenshot?

Not an answer to yr question but the save message is preserved in the
`*Messages*` buffer.  Inspect with `C-h e`.

If you only want to see the message again, and possibly the messages
before, you can open the `*Messages*` buffer with e.g. `M-x view-echo-
area-messages`.

If you need the message to remain there for longer, changing the
variable `minibuffer-message-clear-timeout` could be a solution. On my
Emacs, it's set to `nil` and therefore a message does not disappear
until the next input, happens, ie. until I press a key.
