Feature request: screenshot

[MrWaloo]

It would be great being able to take a screenshot of the remote session.
Maybe video? But this would really be a "nice to have" feature...

Viewer 1.2.3 Allow to save a screen copy jpeg ( fullscreen mode)
You need to set path en prefix in config and imaga is saved as path\prefix_timedate.jpg

1.2.3.0 is work in progress

Hi Rudi,

for flexible or centralized usage and automation of *.VNC files, it would be nice if environment vars could be used in path. It should be possible to save images to userpaths like documents or desktop without having to use different VNC files.
Something like "path=%userprofile%\documents" or "path=%userprofile%\desktop".

Btw. THX for all your work and dedication, Rudi.

Thank you for having added this feature, I did not test it yet.
Can the screenshots only be saved as JPG? The quality of JPG is very low for screenshots, can PNG format be used?

[Prisma]

And: should something like "path=%userprofile%\desktop" or "path=%userprofile%\documents" work at the moment?

[Rudi De Vos]

done
%vars% allowed and png/gif/jpeg/bmp selection.

Just keep in mind, tthat we copy the viewer representation of the server.
+Your screenshot can never be better then the visual viewer representation of the server.

files updated.

Am I missing something here? I can neither find a Screenshot button in the toolbar when in a viewing session, nor an option to set one in the viewers MISC tab.
How to you trigger the screenshot to file? Is it through standard PRINT key? If so, what if i have other programs using that (greenshot, snagit, etc...)?
Could you add a screenshot button to the toolbar and make the hotkey configurable?

Strange, i dont have those last 5 icons from the right at all.

Is this something the server needs to support too?
So its not only the viewer that has the feature but the server needs to be updated as well to support it?
And yes, i set a writeable path for the images

Seems that is implemted with one of the ultravnc only buttons.
We have 2 button images the one you show and a second that's used in ultravnc mode. In win32 coding buttons is complex, not like in devexpress where you can just drop it.

I added a menu item for snapshot for next update, function doesn't depend on the server.
And when i have a lot of time... a button.

This sounds like a great idea. I usually use Windows Snipping Tool. It would be so nice to grab a quick screen capture of things, and have it go into an easy to find folder somewhere. I'll look for this camera icon and try it out when I find it. Thank you.

You know what would be useful? A utility or function that looks at a config, and tells what is customized, versus what is "default". This would not only make it easier for administrators, but it might also make it easier for YOU to support. It could just copy text to a clipboard file, so we could paste it in somewhere to review. Just a thought.
