Hi,

Thanks Mark.

Ok I tried that (without the globalLoc call) and it worked, but it still leaked memory big time, I guess that in that form, it is basically the same as just exporting the group object and therefore hits the bug. I was trying to use the older form and hoping that it doesn't leak memory, at least that way I'd be able to put together something together for my demo.

Ok, I used the older form, to do that you DO NOT specify the Window ID, if you specify the Window ID then it assume you want the New Object based version of the command.

However if I use the older form:

put the rect of grp "GroupCounter" into tFrameRect
export snapshot from rect tFrameRect to file tFileName as PNG

Then the rectangle dumped is not the object "GroupCounter" but some other part of the window. If I do this:

put globalLoc(the topLeft of group "GroupCounter") into myFrameRect
put "," and globalLoc(the bottomRight of group "GroupCounter") after myFrameRect
export snapshot from rect myFrameRect to file myFileName as PNG

Then I get the "no image" error!

From my earlier test that dumped the wrong rectangle contents, I managed to get it to spit out 1000 frames, it still leaked memory but not as much memory!!!! Jeez, it's weird when you start feeling good because something bad is not as bad as something else!

All the Best
Dave

Shouldn't you be using relative points for the rect?


From the docs (2.8) :If a window, stack or object is specified, the rectangle is given in relative (window) coordinates; otherwise, it is given in absolute coordinates.

So:

put the windowID of this stack into tWindowID
put the rect of grp "GroupCounter" into tFrameRect
export snapshot from rect tFrameRect of window tWindowID to file tFileName as PNG

Best,

Mark
