One last thing that is driving me crazy is that "import snapshot" never works

always of the desktop/wallpaper, not of the stack.


      put 234,83,500,166 into zRect
      put the windowId of stack "mainStack" into tWindow
      import snapshot from rect zRect of window tWindow

In the IDE this works fine. In a standalone the image is always of the 
wallpaper behind the stack. I have found this problem in the forums, read how 
people say it works just fine in Windows and followed every tip and still it 
never has worked for me. Always the wallpaper. Please tell me this isn't 
because of the decorations?


The old "...from rect..." option still has some usefulness now and then, but for obtaining an image of an object, such as a card, since v2.7 and forward we have the "...from object.." option, which uses an internal buffer to render the image rather than capturing it from the composited screen, and doing so it's even able to render objects in unopened stacks.
