Thanks Mike, I like your code, cleaner, smaller and easier to understand.
And thanks for the explanation… I get it:)
Again, thanks to all who responded!

It's just how file systems work. If the beginning character is / that
means it starts at the root of the file system. Since you had already set
the defaultfolder, and wanted to go relative to there, you would just
specify the folder name/filename. Or as I said, pre-pend a dot. In fact,
2 dots
Thank you to all who replied!
Adding the “.” solved the problem and the file saved where it was supposed to.
Confusing, because you would think that setting the defaultFolder would allow
you to specify the next sub folder like I did… and it’s not mentioned, that I
saw, in the docs.
Thanks aga
Hi Steve
First, a quick way to the stack or standalone folder is
specialfolderpath(“resources”).
Check that your folders permissions are ok.
export snapshot from rect 0,0,100,100 of this card to url
("binfile:"&specialFolderPath("resources")&"/Pic.jpg") as JPEG
See if this helps when using
If you use the path /tempMedia that forces it to the root of the
filesystem and if there isn't a folder /tempmedia, it'll fail. Either
leave off the preceding slash, or prepend it with a . <--(a dot) which
designates the current directory.

That is (or use variables for the filename):

Hi,
Try using this syntax:
export image "tImage" to file "/tempMedia/testimage.jpg" as JPEG
I think you need binfile to read but not to write.

Hi All,
Been a long time since I’ve done file work with LC, but I’m having an issue
saving an image to a file:
# set the defaultFolder to the folder containing the stackfile
set the itemDelimiter to slash
get the effective filename of this stack
set the defaultFolder to item 1 to -2 of it
