Snapshot of screen
When in the IDE Go to the 'File' menu 'Import Control' 'Snaphot of Screen' Drag out a rectangle Does the screenshot get placed on the card ? I am using 6.5.1 OSX9... and it does not seem to work unless I type 'cmd - period' and then the screenshot appears... Can someone confirm that this seems to be flaky, or am I going about it the wrong way ?

Re: Snapshot of screen
Have you tried pressing the return (or enter) key after dragging out the rectangle? That worked for me with 6.5.1 OS X 7. Though once you've dragged out the rectangle, it just disappears. This is a little odd as it gives the impression that the area of the screen has not been selected. It is re-inforced by the fact that the cross-hair cursor is still displayed, though you can't select a new area of the screening by dragging a new rectangle.

RE: Snapshot of screen
Thanks Peter...:-) That is what I was not doing... pressing the return key... I agree it is a little disconcerting to have the stack disappear...:-) Subject: Re: Snapshot of screen From: peterwaw...@gmail.com Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2014 07:21:14 +0800 To: use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Have you tried pressing the return (or enter) key after dragging out the rectangle?

Re: Snapshot of screen
This is a known bug in LC 6.5.1 and should be fixed soon, the bug report is [ http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11654 ]. There is an odd workaround, just set the focus to any field before issuing the 'import snapShot' command and it should work as you expect without pressing enter. If you don't have any fields available on the card, just use something like… on mouseUp create invisible field tempField --WORKAROUND *remove after LC6.5.1 update focus on field tempField --* import snapshot delete field tempField --* end mouseUp Paul On 2014-01-18, at 3:29 PM, John Dixon dixo...@hotmail.co.uk wrote: Thanks Peter...:-) That is what I was not doing... pressing the return key...
