BUG: How do I locate saved screenshots?

[im-coder-lg]

Hi,

Sorry for the template, GitHub Mobile didn't allow me to use issue forms.

I have tried taking numerous screenshots and checked my Pictures directory, my Documents directory but I can not happen to locate my screenshots. Can I know where screenshots are saved in Windows, macOS and Linux? That might help me if I happen to install Pensela on other OSes.

They should be in a folder by the name "Pensela" in your system's default Pictures directory

Yeah the directory does exist but the picture doesn't... Potential bug? Or am I using an old version? I will try getting the latest version and try again.

Confirmed bug as of version 1.2.4 so let's start finding fixes soon!

Info: I think it has to do with a screen capture program on the unzipped version(used unzipped for skipping installation). I think it's a 32-bit program, check the unzipped version later @weiameili

Windows 7 said it will run on a compatibility layer on the next start, but looks like we found the bug!

[im-coder-lg]

Yep, found the bug.

I found the files here: C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\Pensela-1.2.4-win\resources\app.asar.unpacked\node_modules\screenshot-desktop\lib\win32 and found the files that run as 32-bit files. And, as I expected, they were the Screen Capture files. We need to fix this bug soon.

/ping @weiameili any ideas? Or is this a genuine bug?

[weiameili]

The problem is that the files belong to the "screenshot-desktop" npm package that this app uses, so there isn't much we can do about it. The logical next step in solving this would be opening an issue on the package's repo, but for that, we should preferably reproduce this issue in a node script using just the screenshot-desktop package first.

[im-coder-lg]

Well, we could try that, right?

[weiameili]

Well yes, but right now, I'm unable to reproduce this bug even using Pensela.

[weiameili]

Also, could you possibly build pensela yourself and see if the issue persists? (I had issues with the Pensela executable for Windows built in Linux, but when I built it in windows again, it was working alright)

Hi,

Bug confirmed running Pensela 1.2.5 under Windows 10 64bits both with "portable" (zip) version and "installed" (setup.exe) version:

• ✔a new Pensela folder is created (under the user>Images folder)
• ❌but screenshot images are not save here ... (and nowhere else in my computer as far as I can see 😕).

PS : screenshot above has been taken with an other screenshot tool because Pensela can not take / save any screenshot on my computer 😜.
