Re: Is "import snapshot" without parameters broken?

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

I have a little error in my description.

it should say:

..
> With same resolution on both displays import/export snapshot only wors when 
> the main display is set on the LEFT in System Preferences

So in short.

it works correctly when
- both displays have same resolution and the main display is set on the LEFT in 
System Preferences, but only if the snapshot is taken from the Main display

it doesn't work (no screenshot is taken) when
- the Main display has a lower resolution and is set on the RIGHT in System 
Preferences
- both displays have same resolution and the Main display is set on the RIGHT 
in System Preferences
- both displays have same resolution and the Main display is set on the LEFTin 
System Preferences and the snapshot is taken  from the 2nd display

it works somehow (a screenshot is taken, but not exactly what was in the 
rectangle) when
 - the Main display has a lower resolution and is set on the LEFT in System 
Preferences and snapshot is taken from the 2nd display

Re: Is "import snapshot" without parameters broken?

Thanks to all that responded.

I have found now what is causing the malfunction of the import / export 
snapshot commands. And i think this is a bug. 

I have 2 displays connected to my Mac. The main display is on the right. The 
resolutions are not the same. The main display has a lower one.
With this setup import/export snapshot do not work.

With same resolution on both displays import/export snapshot only work when the 
main display is set on the right in System Preferences

When setting the system to synchronize the displays ( both show the same 
content) then import/export works also.

While investigating i found some other anomalies.

I've created a bug report  
in case one or the other is 
interested.

Brian,

Import Snapshot sans parameters works fine for me in LC 9.6.0 on macOS 10.15.5

Also note that in Richard Gaskin's comment to 
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15103 the "export snapshot" 
command may also be a workaround.

Hi,

Livecode displays a crosshairs cursor, but i am not able to select an area with

Is this a bug or did the syntax change for importing a snapshot with the 
possibility to select the area  with the mouse? I am on Mac OS 10.14.6.


It's been broken for years. Subject of several bug reports, at least for 
Windows and linux.


If you absolutely need a workaround now, three years ago I posted some 
very ugly code that does work in

I'm using the same OS as you and it works here. At first I thought it failed because it was 
placed exactly over the existing controls and I saw no changes, but when I dragged it I saw the 
image move.

Re: Is "import snapshot" without parameters broken?

In 10.15.6 you have to grant explicit permission for LiceCode to capture the 
screen.  Just ran into that yesterday and LC seemed to freeze when I did 
something that triggered it (clicked the crosshair icon in Navigator).  Not 
sure if it is related (my other computer is still 10.13, never ran .14)

Is "import snapshot" without parameters broken?

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Hi,

today i've tried to do a screen capture using "import snapshot", but without 
parameter.
Livecode displays a crosshairs cursor, but i am not able to select an area with 
the mouse. Liveconde freezes then in some way and i have to force quit it..

Is this a bug or did the syntax change for importing a snapshot with the 
possibility to select the area  with the mouse? I am on Mac OS 10.14.6.

Regards,
Matthias
