General Question Screen Capture Dialog

[fred18]

I jsut noticed this by chance in the Orbiter API:

#define OAPI_LKEY_DlgCapture 102
open screen capture dialog

So I dig around a bit and got the idea of checking keymap.cfg to see if there was an assigned combination for that and there is! ctrl+sys, it opens a dialog which can save images to clipboard, to assigned directory, even multiple frames or videos are allowed!

This is amazing! It should be documented, I checked the orbiter manual and found no mention of this.

Was I the only one ignoring this??

I checked also with d3d9 but it seems to have issues with that.

Doesn't work for me...

The dialog or the key combination?
Should be ctrl+print screen.
It works only in orbiter 2016 for me. I just made a quick test and works fine

Probably laptop keyboard issue...?

Maybe, try to modify your keymap.cfg with another key or keycombination

that works

Works as long as I use the capture frames function, but the screenshot function gives me CTD :blink:

You can even save a sequence of frames.

I call it 'paparazzi mode.'
