Screen dump - rose - 02-22-2007
Hi!
How do you manage to do screen dumps of your results in a mansion. When I try I get the start game etc window, just as take the dump. I use Alt - Shift 4 and drag the cursor. I think the window change when I start press on the mouse. Any ideas?

I use the Apple Utility Grab. But I also play in a window instead of full screen, at least at the end of the game.

I always play in a window. Full screen is to big (20"
to play in. I have never used Grab. Do I have to start the program before I am at the end of a game?
Re: Screen dump - joeb - 02-22-2007
Yup. I have it running and at the right instance I click on it in the dock. The MM screen freezes and then I do the selection option. When you select that it will throw an annoying dialog box up that you can move but if you're on a 20" then you'll have no issues.
Hope this helps,

Thanks! I'll try it. I am snowed in today so I can't go to work ;D. Can do what ever I want!!!

It doesn't work. As soon as I click on the dock I get the start window. This is when I try to grab the ending window with my results.

Apple/Shift/4 takes a screen shot no matter what view. It has an annoying habit of stacking icons in the upper right screen. Just go to the Finder window, select all, go to clean-up under View, and they'll neatly restack on your screen. This is how I get screen shots of those diabolic mazes (not mentioning any names, of course!)

That is the key combination I also use but when I want the result window, the one with all money, found secrets in percent etc., change window as soon as I start selecting the window!
My icon don't stack but I guess I have more spave on the Desktop.

Apple/Shift/3 - So Sorry for the mistake :-[
Re: Screen dump - sherryl199 - 02-22-2007
I did this with that combination apple/shift/3 - as I said, though, it messes up your desktop icons, but that's easy to fix
