The first file is copy-path and by default contains FALSE. If set to TRUE it will load the path of the file into the clipboard before it takes the screenshot. If set to AFTER it will save the path to the clipboard after the screenshot.

The second file is screenshot-path, it determines the path where the screenshots are saved. The default is $HOME/Pictures/Screenshots.
