Taking screenshots on a Mac
on: February 23, 2007, 09:18:26 am
So how do I do that ?

Macs don't have a PrintScrn key, and there doesn't seem to be a way to bind the screenshot function to another key in the FS2 options.

So uhm ... bump

I know it's no a matter of life and death, but it still bugs me.

Uhh, I was going to do something about this at one point, but then forgot about it.  I think that one of the extra F? keys did work (F13-F16), or maybe that was for pause, don't really remember, but it's worth a try.  If that doesn't work then give me a few days and I'll come up with an SDL code hack to get around the problem.

Ah, I should have specified that we're talking about one of those new Intel MacBooks, which doesnt have any extra F keys, just F1 to F12.

Screen dump
    The display system dumps what it is using internally upon request, such as XWD X Window Dump image data in the case of X11 or PDF in the case of Mac OS X. As of Mac OS X 10.4, pictures are no longer saved as PDF. They are saved as PNGs.
Mac OS X

Pressing Command-Shift-3 takes a screenshot of the entire screen, and Command-Shift-4 takes a screenshot of a chosen area of the screen or if you press Space afterwards you can choose a window on the screen to individually screenshot, these are pasted as images on the desktop and if you hold down the control key as well they are copied to the clipboard instead.

You can also use Grab to take screenshots.

The shortcuts also work in Mac OS Classic

Ah excellent, command-shift-3 saves PNG screenshots to the desktop.

F13 - F16 ? They're gone.

I just took a screen shot in the tech room using command-shift-3, and it worked, except that there was no specular highlight in the resulting image, even though there was when I took it. Any idea why the window manager treat the highlights differently? I remember them working two years ago when I was showing screenshots of the cached IBX bug on my PowerBook. I'm using a MacBook now, so perhaps the integrated graphics are working against me.

Something to do with the external monitor, apparently. Specular shows up fine in screenshots taken on the main display.
