How to take a screenshot?
 

I have searched the boards extensively and so far am unable to find a way to take screen shots?

I'm know I'm likely to be crucified for asking such a nooby question. But I'd much rather just prefer some help!

Control-Shift-P

files get dumped into [FileBrowser]N900/Images/Screenshots

/home/user/MyDocs/.images/Screenshots

You should have checked "N900 Tips & Tricks" thread, any here is the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+P takes a screenshot. Look into this thread for more tips http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ight=N900+tips

I think the problem I have is accessing the files

/home/user/MyDocs/.images/Screenshots

I can not find this location?

Re: N900 Screen Shots?
 

That IS the correct directory.

Then you're not taking screenshots correctly. If you've never taken any then the directory gets created when you do. Check the image browser to see if it was correctly taken.

I've read that hildon tends to screw up some names on the more 'special' folders. Are you looking for them in the phone or with the phone connected to a pc?
Try getting a terminal on the phone ( main menu -> more -> x terminal) and type "cd /home/user/MyDocs/.images/Screenshots" (no quotes). If if says nothing, the folder is there. Then type "ls" to see what's inside

Followed this exactly

cd /home/user/MyDocs/.images/Screenshots

found nothing?

If you use File Manager

It'll be in

N900/Images/Screenshots

No need for those Terminal commands

if it's empty then you probably haven't taken any screenshots ;)

If it said nothing like "no such file or directory", then the folder is there. Now, since i don't own a device i can't tell you how to access the files. Typing "mv * .." (be sure to be in screenshots folder!) will move them to .images, where i guess the rest of the images are stored, so you can see them with the image viewer

Is there a notification when you take the screen shot
