Archive of Livecode's IDE screenshot images

Post by capellan » Tue Nov 12, 2013 6:39 pm

Hi all,

Does exists an archive of high quality screenshot images from the LiveCode IDE, palettes and dialogs, in every platform that could be used in the creation of tutorials and demos?

I request the creation of this useful archive of images for reference.

If this were possible, How could I take vector graphic screenshots of all LiveCode's IDE elements (Icons, Palettes, Windows)?

Thanks in advance!

Al

Vector Graphic Screenshots . . . well, for Linux that is easy:

but with Windows one has to buy Adobe Illustrator and then mess around extensively:

I don't know is Illustrator CS2 does vector screenshots: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitleme ... _downloads

if so, then go and get Illustrator CS2 for FREE.

Many Thanks, Richmond!

Probably, the Adobe Ilustrator's object mosaic is equivalent to
Inkscape's create tiles:

Anyway, a bitmap archive would be useful, too.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by your last posting.

The easiest way to provide Vector screenshots of all these screen artifacts would be to run Livecode in Windows and Macintosh inside VMware running on Linux,
and then use the Linux Vector screenshot thing to take shots of those as well as with Livecode running in Linux.

I COULD do that this coming weekend, BUT only if somebody could send me a list of all the palettes and dialogues that are needed because, frankly, I'm not sure
if I am aware of all of them.
