It's probably all the asterisks. ;)

If there's no thrown error and nothing in "the result" perhaps a file 
was indeed written.  The question is: where?


You might change the error check line to:

   put the result & the directory

...to see where it thinks it successfully wrote the file.

If the file exists there is no problem.  If the file doesn't exist 
there's an engine bug that should be reported.


But FWIW I haven't seen export fail with a path as far back as I can 
remember, so if a bug was introduced it was probably a very short-lived 
regression unlikely to be found in any other build.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I modified my code to read like this:

*on**mouseUp*

**

***export**snapshot from **group**"horror" **to**file "TestExport.png" 
as PNG*


**

***puttheresult*

**

*end**mouseUp

*

*and the Message Box oponed, displaying nothing.

What do you find if you check "the result" immediately after the 
export command?

Try this:
put the defaultfolder

My guess is that it is now a non-writable destination which is why you are
not seeing a new file.

Re: "export snapshot" still NOT in 8.1.7

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

With LC 7.1.4 on Mac OS 10.7.5 the default folder on my machine is 
automatically set to


/Users/richmondmathewson/LiveCode

and exported snapshots end up there unless I specify otherwise.

If I export a snapshot using the Message Box I get an acknoewledgement 
"true".


In 8.1.4 upwards the IDE does NOT export any snapshots anywhere 
(subsequent file searches . . .)


and on attempting to export from the Message box there is no 
acknowledgement.


No execution error, just a big, fat silence, I'm afraid.

Richmond.

Could you explain in what way it doesn't work? Does it throw an execution
error? I notice you don't specify a full path or set the defaultFolder-
perhaps it is getting exported somewhere odd.

Well, that's lovely for you.

No joy "over here" on Mac OS 10.7.5 (which LiveCode states that 8.1.7 
supports).
