Re: 8.1.4 Export snapshot

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

Hi Panos,

I’ve just come to the same conclusion, when I checked the LC app bundle, the 
test files were in there. A search in the Mac Finder doesn’t reveal files 
inside the app bundle, so this is where I went wrong until the penny dropped!

Setting the default folder first does remedy the problem of knowing where the 
files end up if you don’t specify a file path.

This is an example of, why reading the notes in the dictionary more thoroughly 
could relieve some frustration! :)

Re: 8.1.4 Export snapshot

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hi all,

I have tried in LC 8.1.5 RC-2:

export snapshot from Field 1 to file "File1.png" as PNG

This works as expected, and creates a "File1.png" in **the defaultFolder**
(in my case in /Applications/LiveCode Indy 8.1.5 (rc 2).app)

@Paul
Can you "put the defaultFolder", and check if there is a file "abc.png" in
it?

@Richmond
Every bug report on a supported platform (including Mac OS 10.7.8, in LC
8.x) "goes down well" in Edinburgh :)

Best,
Panos

I see the same problem using LC 8.1.5(rc1) on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.4, but if I 
give the file a more complete path (which I would normally do), then it does 
work:

export snapshot from group "abc" to file "/Users/paulhibbert/Desktop/abc.png" 
as PNG

However, I would have expected an error or at least something in the result 
with your example, but they were both empty when I tried:

on mouseUp

try

   export snapshot from group "abc" to file "abc.png" as PNG

catch tError

end try

put "The Result:" & the result && "Error:" & tError

end mouseUp

Are you going to file a bug report?


No, I don't think I can as I'm not entirely sure how well Mac OS 10.7.8 
will go down in Edinburgh.

Re: 8.1.4 Export snapshot

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

This looks like it may be a bug on Mac OS, or just a difference in the way the 
OS works.

I see the same problem using LC 8.1.5(rc1) on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.4, but if I 
give the file a more complete path (which I would normally do), then it does 
work:

export snapshot from group "abc" to file "/Users/paulhibbert/Desktop/abc.png" 
as PNG

However, I would have expected an error or at least something in the result 
with your example, but they were both empty when I tried:

on mouseUp

   try

  export snapshot from group "abc" to file "abc.png" as PNG

   catch tError

   end try

put "The Result:" & the result && "Error:" & tError

end mouseUp

Are you going to file a bug report?

FWIW it works for me in 8.1.5rc2 on Ubuntu 14.04.
