Hi Livecoders,

I have been thinking about offering snapshot image density options on an app 
which currently only offers (import) snapshot size options.  I chose import 
snapshot script variant because users’ machines may well react badly to an 
attempt to save an image (security).  However, most of the software they use 
will allow a clipboard image to be pasted into a record.

First question:  Is it right that import snapshot doesn’t offer image density 
options as export snapshot does?  If that is correct, (it is what the 
dictionary on 9.6.0 shows) question the second….should I just export to the 
temp folder, immediately import, copy to clipboard and proceed as before?  Or 
is there a more elegant route?  (I suppose there is also a question 2.5, are 
temp folders always available irrespective of the severity of security 
restrictions which might be imposed?)

The density options I want to offer are 

Screen (96 DPI)
Print  (300 DPI)
Publication (1000 DPI)

3rd (double barrelled) question… Would the correct syntax to set up for 
publication density be

'put 1000 into snapshotArray[“density”]’  

and then to actually capture…  

'export snapshot from objectref with metadata snapshotArray[“density”] to file 
“SeeSR.png" as PNG

I would investigate myself if I had the time, but sadly I also have to earn a 
living through my day job.




Best Wishes,
David Glasgow
