LiveCode Forums.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but neither "Import snapshot" or "export snapshot" work at all anymore.
Trying to import a snapshot (even trying all of the examples posted in the dictionary) has no effect and no result. Just nothing happens at all.
Trying to export a snapshot (again trying all of the examples in the dictionary) always results in an error. Something about not having an image selected or some other such nonsense.

Here's an example copied from the dictionary with the error that occurred:

export snapshot from rect "0,0,200,200" to file "Nav.jpg" as JPEG
Error description: export: no image selected, or image not open

Any ideas?

Hi...

It's working here...

..........

h-h...

But using unmodified dixie's stack I got an empty jpeg file and the error code (in console window)

Tell me how you had to modify the stack, as, as I mentioned exporting the image for me is not a problem... using OSX 10.9 & LC 6.5...

Hi,

Dixie's stack works for me right out of the box.
MacOSX 10.6.8

Livecode 6.1.3 and Livecode 6.5.1(RC1)

Kind regards
Bernd

I should have mentioned I'm using Windows 7 and LiveCode 6.5.

Dixie's stack does not work at all for me. Same error as in the original post and no files are created.

It sounds like it sometimes works on Mac from what everyone here is saying, but is not compatible with Windows anymore.

This may need to be added as a bug.

Bug report has been submitted!

We'll see if they follow my advice and revert whatever changes have been made to the snapshot script. That would be the easy solution.
If the old code worked just fine on all desktop platforms, then I wouldn't be too upset with the next update containing some old code.
