Save Snapshot

Was searching the forums, but can't find anything definitive....

I have a camera button in my game. When pressed, it takes a snapshot of the canvas. Where does that snapshot go? I want to be able to save the image to the hard drive. How can that be done?

The snapshot is saved in the "CanvasSnapshot" system variable as a data URI, you can use "Load image for URL" to display it in a new tab

System expressions

The user has to right-click > save as manually

Or you can try Pode's FileSaver, but it will only display the "save as" dialog in Chrome

Is "Load image from URL" in the browser object..."open url in new window"? I tried this but when it's exported to windows 8 it prompts to look in the store for something to open the url.

Yes "open url in new window" is what I meant (sorry about the "load image from url" nonsense)

I'm doing something like that, which works in the browser

But I never exported anything to W8, so I can't tell anything about it

Take a look at Filesaver Plugin by Pode

Savvy001 Yeah I saw that, but for saving to hard drive he says:

For the moment, you can save text file and HTML strings as html files.

No images yet.

If there was a way to simulate WinKey+Printscreen, that might be a way around it.

Otherwise, I'll have to tell the player to press those keys manually.

I have the same problem, I can�t make snapshots in metro. Does anyone know a fix to this problem?
