Export snapshot - is it usable on LiveCode web apps?

[Andreas Bergendal]

Hi Phil,

I believe it’s correct that export snapshot is currently not supported on
web (with LiveCode 10, don’t know about Create).

I tried to find a solution some time ago, but didn’t have time to
experiment enough.

One of the methods in this article might be useful:

I might revisit this challenge when back from vacation. If you find a
solution I’d be interested to learn it.
