Screen capture

I know this has been asked in the past, but if someone wanted to do it in the future that would be awesome.

Like being able to capture a part of the screen would be awesome, would also be useful in combination with the image manipulator.

But erm, yeah... there is a way to make snapshots, I believe deadeye made something where the thing saved a screenshot.

Seems to me that capturing the screen with an action could have its uses.

I also invented the toaster, and socks.

You can thank me with piles of money.

(No, I never made a screenshot-saving thing.)

I don't think there is a way to get screenshots; it's something someone could easily make a plugin out of though.

capturing the screen would have uses, it would allow us to make sprite making programs that capture a sequence of frames or wtv.

oh yah cant you make a canvas, make it grab layout, then save the canvas texture using the image manipulator?

there isn't a grab layout action, which there should be..

There is actually, in the canvas properties it says 'Grab layout' and you can choose: off/after drawing/before drawing

I haven't tried it yet though! :O

action

i know there's the tick box, but if you check the box it does it continuously. I was talking about an action to snapshot whatever's under the canvas.

I'll look into adding an action.
