Saving snapshots to files

[Ken Norris]

Howdy,

Sorry to ask this ahead of scriptwriting, but for the moment I'm running
scared of crashes, plusI want to do some planning before I attack.

What I now have:

I have a swell-working metamap display with a dual maps.

1) One is a 3ft x 4ft county map of our island which appears in a group and
is grabbable for scrolling.

2) The other is a small map with a small grabbable proportional rectangle.

You can grab the rectangle to scroll the big map image in its group
"window", or you can grab-n-scroll the big map while the rectangle in the
small map follows.

At the moment, in order to save and print, I import a snapshot, cut it, then
open a substack. create a new card, and paste the image. That stack has nav
controls and a Print button.

What I want to do:

1) Keep all the metamap stuff in the front card, plus background behavior
grouped nav and index controls, plus a separate bkgnd group Print control on
the cards behind it. Easy enough.

2) Here's the part I need help with: Change venues. Rather than have the
snapshots embedded in a substack (I don't want an extra window to appear), I
want to save the image files to a folder and have sorted index lists call
them into a card for printing.

I know the basics of how to do it, but I'm unsure of how to handle it in Rev
for a Windows application.

How do I send imported snapshots to a file? How do I call them back? What
kind of images are imported snapshots?

May I please get some scripting ideas and suggestions? Is there perhaps a
template somewhere?

TIA,
Ken N.
