Thanks! Both a great feature, and an incredibly quick and well presented response. I think this one will be a "must buy"

Status: offline 		I also have hit this same problem. I tried saving the map image for .sal of a PBEM game I'm playing; I did not get the message box prompting for the save name/directory. I tried again with a pbl of an old turn -- same lack of message box. I did a visual check, and ran search for recent .jpegs -- no sign of these. But for a .sal from against the PO, this works fine.

I wonder if it's related to the 'goodbye' that happens after you save a turn of a PBEM -- even if the turn is not over, TOAW goes away. Just a guess. I too wish it worked with EOTs.

It sort of looks like it might be working; you click on the option, but no message box appears. If you're still playing the pbl/sal-from-pbem, then you can continue. There is no jpeg created.

@Oberst
I usually find the map jpegs in the 'main' scenario directory/folder smooshed in with the sitreps, the accursed-auto-sals, etc.

capturing a screen shot - how??? - 3/26/2012 7:02:42 PM

Status: offline 		Oberst-

You said that there is a screen capture feature built in, but I can't seem to make the "create map image" buttons work...

I know that there is photo-editing software available, but first I need to get a screen shot captured; how do I do that?

I am starting a game of Brian Topp's Battle for Moscow (v 1.93), and would like to do a series of AAR's about the progress, but I need to be able to capture screen shots to make it meaningful.

Any help will be appreciated; I tried to find it on Gefechtsstand, but did not see anything about how to capture the screen shot to get started.
