This looks like it may be a bug on Mac OS, or just a difference in the way the
OS works.
I see the same problem using LC 8.1.5(rc1) on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.4, but if I
give the file a more complete path (which I would normally do), then it does
work:
export snapshot from group "abc" to file "/Users/paulhibbert/Desktop/abc.png"
as PNG
However, I would have expected an error or at least something in the result
with your example, but they were both empty when I tried:
on mouseUp
try
export snapshot from group "abc" to file "abc.png" as PNG
catch tError
end try
put "The Result:" & the result && "Error:" & tError
end mouseUp
Are you going to file a bug report?
