export snapshot

[MaxV]

What is the correct syntax of:

Code: Select all

export snapshot from rect  tRect of this stack to file myFile AS JPEG

??
I wan to use a rect with relative to stack coordinates, not to screen coordinates.

Hi Max,

use "of this cd":
...
export snapshot from rect tRect of this cd to file (specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/test.jpg") AS JPEG
...
Tested and works!

Thank Klaus, but I just discovered that my problem was elsewhere.
If I have an image, I change the file where the filename points to, I change the filename again to redfreh it... livecode doesn't do anything because the previous name and the current name are the same and so I doesn't refresh the image.
This is my workaround:

Code: Select all

   repeat for each item tItem in lista      
      export snapshot from  rect ( the rect of image titem ) of this card  to file tItem AS JPEG
      set the filename of image tItem to  empty  #!!!!!!! needed!!!!
      set the filename of image tItem to  tItem
   end repeat   

I was going crazy!!!
