Screenshot of entire map does not work.
Operating system: windows 8.1
Version of Wesnoth: 1.10.5 (but I also tried with the newest version and had the same problem
Hello,
I'm trying to take a map screenshot (of an entire game map) and the result is...bizarre.
- I went into preferences and chose several different hotkeys for map screenshot but none made any difference.
- the game says it took a screenshot and saved it to Wesnoth 1.10.5/userdata/screenshots/map screenshot_000.bmp
-Problem #1: there is no directory labeled "userdata" even tho it says it saved it there.
- so I figured it must be hidden so I went thru all the windows stuff to make directories and files unhidden. No luck.
- so then I did a search of my ENTIRE harddrive of the screenshot file but it did not exist (I did the same search in the wesnoth directory itself)
- I also tried creating a "userdata" directory figuring, at the very least, it'd say the directory name already exists. It let me create the directory but screenshots still did
not save there.
UGH! Very aggravated bc I know I did this before w and earlier version without trouble. I hate "upgrading" anything. It ALWAYS causes aggravation like this.
Thanks for any help!!

Re: Screenshot of entire map does not work.
Tested with 1.12.5 and that OS and it works for me.
When you take screenshot then it shows dialog with button to get to the new file.

Its an far fetched possibility but still: somehow your AV may be blocking it.
