Celestia 1.3.2: Problems by the function 'Capture Image'

Nameless · Post #1by **Nameless** » 14.11.2004, 12:32

Hello

I have poblems by the function "Capture Image".
If I want to capture an image of e.g. a planet, the saving menu also will be captured.
Example for the Bug: http://people.freenet.de/Nameless23/Err ... _Error.jpg
I'm using Windows ME and an Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro with 128 MB VRAM.

I'll hope you fix it in the next release :wink:

Bye

If you need working screenshots now, you can try using a short CELX-script to take the screenshot. A short delay at the start should successfully work around the problem with the dialog box. I can post a script for this if you need it, just ask...

pressing the "print screen" key and pasting into an image editing program works for me!

But this methods are all only provisional solutions!

Why can't be in Celestia a really working print function?

Because it is a problem which has many workarounds (See the Prelimiary Users FAQ at the top of the Celestia Users Forum) and the very few people who actually write Celestia code are working on problems which have no workarounds.

Sorry to interject, but you can very easily use a third-party screen
capture program to get what you want from Celestia.

Try the free Gadwin Screen-Capture utility which is freely available at:

http://www.Gadwin.com

Gives choices about whther you want to save the Entire screen, the
current window, etc.

Take care, Bob

I think when a program have a menu point for a function, so this function should work properly.

I agree, but - as Selden has mentioned above - other, more pressing
concerns seem to be taking priority right now. Surely you can live with
this very minor inconvenience long enough to explore some of the
program's other - absolutely spectacular - features can you not? :wink:

Take care, Bob
