am I right with select and group?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Tiemo,

You don't need to group your images.
In addition, it seems that your syntax is not correct:

> export snapshot from grp "grpClipboard" to tClipboardImage as
> PNG

export snapshot from RECT (THE RECT OF grp "grpClipboard") to  
tClipboardImage as PNG

You could try:

local tRect, tClipboardImage
-----
show img "a"
show img "b"
put the topLeft of img "a",the botRight of img "b" into tRect
-- assuming that img "a" is on the left :-)
export snapshot from rect tRect to tClipboardImage as PNG
