Re: Snapshot of browser not working?

2023-08-05 Thread Andrew at MidWest Coast Media via use-livecode
I believe this is a bug/feature of the browser widget being a native control. 
What has worked for me is being more specific about the snapshot location.


  export snapshot from rect globalRect(the rect of widget “Browser" of 
group “foo") to pictVariable as PNG


This has worked in macOS and Windows standalones for a current project. Hope 
that helps!

Exporting a snapshot of a PLAYER fails under Windows (see 
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23694). Exporting the 
Browser widget may be related? If it is reproducible in a test stack, 
you shoud file a bug report with a test stack to demonstrate the error.


I seem to recall other export snapshot bugs. There is one related to 
multiple displays (https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22852) 
and there may be others.

Is this something that works on other  platforms or livecode versions?

Snapshot of browser not working?

I cannot find a specific bug report - but I am trying to take a snapshot of
a browser widget to capture an image of the website. In the latest 10 DP 5
on MacOS M2 i get a very truncated text of the image (a few lines) in all
formats using:

*export* snapshot from widget "Browser" to pictVariable as PNG

Is this something that works on other  platforms or livecode versions?
