:slaps self: Where do screenshots go? - Taem - 10-21-2004

Sorry, I know this question has probbably been asked a million times before:

I know if I hit the "Print Screen", it will take a picture of whats on screen in Diablo II, but what I forgot is 'where' the picture goes. I just don't remember. If anyone would tell me, I would be very grateful.

Thanks for replies ahead of time.

The clipboard.

*Buzz* Wrong.

Screenshots are saved as .jpg files in your main Diablo II install directory. The filename will be "Screenshotnnn.jpg" where nnn will be a number like 001, 002, etc.

LoL, that may be true, but I answered my own question just now.

I hit Print Screen multiple times then went searching threw my directories to find the pictures and low-and-behold... right there in the D2 directory! Duh, who would of thought, right? :blink:

Sorry about that guys <_< . I should have done a thorough search before posting.

Actually, if you want to get technical, the screenshots are saved in the current working directory. This is usually, but not necessarily, the same as the D2 install directory.

While I did not know the game would put the screens in the directory, none the less they are in the clipboard.

Open paint and do a paste and you will see it. I do not like apps putting anything in any directory without my direction.

Of course I would not use print screen anyway to capture screen shots as I want total control. I would use Hypersnap or Irfanview.

So even if you are not running DiabloII, print screen will put the output in the clip board.
