GrabDesktop [pubscreen]

Post by djrikki »

Hi,

This new function isn't working for me successfully at all.

Code: Select all

GrabDesktop(#CAPTUREDSCREEN, {pubscreen = selectedscreen})
I experience two issues..

1) It doesn't capture the selected screen.
2) What it does capture is the frontmost screen with horizontal bands of corrupted data across it... these meaningless screenshots give an example of what I am experiencing.

If I do not specify 'pubscreen' at all (i.e. as per previous versions) everything works fine.

This issue only shows up on OS4 and has been reported to the OS4 developers already prior to the release of Hollywood 5.3 because it was discovered by a beta tester. However, communication with OS4 developers is really difficult nowadays and they don't seem to care too much about possible bug reports. So it gets really difficult to determine whether the bug is in Hollywood or OS4. But this lack of communication of course greatly decreases my willingness to look closer into issues that happen on OS4 only (like the port issue with ARexx and video playback that was reported some months ago) because I don't want to spend hours and hours on isolating a problem without getting it solved just because OS4 developers refuse communication.

Maybe try asking on a Hyperion forum to see if you get feedback there. I reported it on an internal OS4 mailing list and got no reply about the issue.
