Questions about RW screenshots

Unread postby OldProf » Sat Apr 13, 2013 1:24 pm

These questions regard screenshots captured within RW by clicking on the camera icon contained in the F4 HUD. I've grown to like using this camera because it neatly tucks away the HUD, the mouse pointer, etc. just for the instant of recording. However, I've run into several peculiar situations:

1) Until a short while ago, at the end of any session during which I used the internal camera, RW asked me after shutting down whether I wanted to upload the images, look at them on disc, etc. This feature no longer appears and I'd rather like to have it back. Do any forum members know how to manage this?

2) I like to use Corel PaintShop Pro to modify screenshots by adding captions, etc., but the JPG images made with the internal camera, unlike all other JPEG files, do not show up in CPSP's management pane. I can drag an image to the editor pane, modify it, and save it, but cannot save the modified version as a new image under a new name. Anyone know why not?

3) Just today, I wanted to group some shots together for later use, so I renamed them, using Rename Master. Now they are visible in the Screenshot Uploader only as black frames with a black exclamation mark inside, and are identified as unloadable. Anyone know how to make them loadable again?

I also have both Bandicam and FRAPS available, but in order to use either one to record an image without the HUD, I have to close the HUD, take the shoot, and reopen the HUD ... a small nuisance, but a nuisance nevertheless, so I'd prefer to use the internal camera.

I use Irfanview. No problem dealing with RW screenshots.

I use this feature too and somewhere that disappeared however if you hover on the Steam chice in your start menu one of the choices is 'screenshots' and that takes you to the preview like we saw before.

I go to the directory where the RW jpeg images are stored. They open up and edit just fine in PaintShop Pro for me.

Yes, it's an older Topic but I didn't want to start another one. *!!wink!!*

My question kinda starts off at the end of what Buzz said, I took some screens with the F12 key so they got saved to Steam. Now, I uploaded them to the "cloud" but can't seem to figure out how to link to these screens for y'all to view them? I don't want a link that has to be clicked on. Guess I can rerun the scenario with FRAPS running (was too excited to run the Empire Builder, I forgot FRAPS)
