Hi all, I have tried in LC 8.1.5 RC-2:
export snapshot from Field 1 to file "File1.png" as PNG This works as expected, and creates a "File1.png" in **the defaultFolder** (in my case in /Applications/LiveCode Indy 8.1.5 (rc 2).app) @Paul Can you "put the defaultFolder", and check if there is a file "abc.png" in it? @Richmond Every bug report on a supported platform (including Mac OS 10.7.8, in LC 8.x) "goes down well" in Edinburgh :) Best, Panos -- On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 7:26 PM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > > On 6/28/17 7:45 pm, Paul Hibbert via use-livecode wrote: > >> 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? >> > > No, I don't think I can as I'm not entirely sure how well Mac OS 10.7.8 > will go down in Edinburgh. > > Richmond. > > > >> Paul >> >> >> On Jun 28, 2017, at 1:58 AM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode < >>> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: >>> >>> Mac OS 10.7.8 >>> >>> in LC 7.1.4 if I type this sort of thing into the Message box: >>> >>> export snapshot from group "abc" to file "abc.png" as PNG >>> >>> it exports a snapshot of my group! >>> >>> But that doesn't work in 8.1.4. >>> >>> Richmond. >>> _______________________________________________ >>> use-livecode mailing list >>> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com >>> Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your >>> subscription preferences: >>> http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode >>> >> _______________________________________________ >> use-livecode mailing list >> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com >> Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your >> subscription preferences: >> http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode >> > > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
