No, whatever you see in the preview, it's not what you really shoot. It's a part of it, often missing objects and stuff and totally not the correct part of the screen you snap. > It's possible that you can change a snapshot setting > after getting a preview (refresh) and before saving it, which should > have invalidated the Save button but didn't.

Hey, you dont need to teach me how to use it. :) I've 20,000 snapshots up on flickr. ,) >> - Mirrored glow on highres snapshots. >> - Freeze doesnt freeze particles, clouds etc. >> - Highres snapshots show weird lines in clouds and water at the center >> of the saved snapshot > These are all Windlight bugs.

As this doesn't occur anywhere else than in snapshot, it is a snapshot bug. Where to fix it (windlight code) I dont mind, as long as it GETS fixed. > Yes, I'm aware of the meta task, but notice that about half of the > issues are already closed. Closed doesnt mean fixed.

When I chose a path last session, why does it ask me again after an SL restart? That's pretty annoying, especially as I am running SL in fullscreen and the file dialog doesnt appear ... I have to switch to desktop, click SL in the process bar and before Vista switches back to the SL fullscreen, I get the file dialog. > as well as a ton of code clean-up under the hood.

There was improvement. But with the bugs I listed for ME it's still greatly broken. Especially highres snashots cant be done with the glow and water/particle/fog bugs. There is lots of glow around and all photos with water/particle/fog in it you have to fix in photoshop, if that is even possible.
