Save Screenshot

[Samuel25]

Hi, I'm very new using Au3 and I've find my first obstacle

When I joined here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_ScreenCapture_Capture.htm

I found quite easy to use this, so I copied the example from below: 

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

_ScreenCapture_Capture(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image1.jpg")

This saved a screenshot into MyDocuments.

Now, I've tried to change the directory but then doesn't work.

This is what I've done: 

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

Global $name

$name = 1
_ScreenCapture_Capture(@ScriptDir & "\Test\" & $name & ".jpg")

Can anybody tell me what's wrong there?

Folder "Test" probably doesn't exist.

It works fine for me. Is the directory created? _ScreenCapture will not create it

Yes, I created it.

Where is @ScriptDir pointing? Is it somewhere you have access to create a file? What if you take the variable out of the mix and type the full path out?

_ScreenCapture_Capture(@ScriptDir & "\Test\1.jpg")

[UEZ]

Where did you created it? Where the script is located?

Ok, I've found why. Sry I'm very new to this.

I creted the script in the folder "Examples", from the Autoit folder, and it looks like I don' have the rights to save anythign there.

I created it in another folder new created by me and it works.

Sorry for my noobiness!

You can do something like this here to debug your code:

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

Global $name

$name = 1
$path = @ScriptDir & "\Test\" & $name & ".jpg"
ConsoleWrite($path & @LF)
_ScreenCapture_Capture($path)
ConsoleWrite(@error & @LF)

Just check out the console output in SciTE!
