8.1.4 Export snapshot

[panagiotis merakos]

Hi all,

I have tried in LC 8.1.5 RC-2:

export snapshot from Field 1 to file "File1.png" as PNG

This works as expected, and creates a "File1.png" in **the defaultFolder**
(in my case in /Applications/LiveCode Indy 8.1.5 (rc 2).app)

@Paul
Can you "put the defaultFolder", and check if there is a file "abc.png" in
it?

@Richmond
Every bug report on a supported platform (including Mac OS 10.7.8, in LC
8.x) "goes down well" in Edinburgh :)

Best,
Panos
