Hi
How can I take a screen shot of an application or the whole screen using applescript?
I want to take a screen shot when an applescript broke.
If you have a standard Jaguar install, this should place a screenshot on the clipboard.
do shell script "/usr/sbin/screencapture -c"
And this should place a screenshot in a PDF file on the desktop.
set ptd to POSIX path of (path to desktop as string)
set shellCommand to "/usr/sbin/screencapture " & ptd & "script_screenshot.pdf"
do shell script shellCommand
Caution: If you use the PDF version, you should add checks to make sure that the file name doesn’t already exist.
Hi!
Well, I’m a rooky.
How can I change the path that the new shots are going to be saved into a dedicated folder on the desktop???
Lets say at the beginning of the script there is a command to create a folder and later on the shot should be saved in there…
Thanks
Dirk
