Is there a reason screenshots/video require the Studio/IDE?

Open joshgoebel opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Currently takeScreenshot (and video) and it's keystroke are trapped inside a #if defined(BUILD_EDITORS) block... is there a reason this functionality should require editor support?

Context: I'm trying to find the line between Tic "OS" and Tic Studio... it seems anyone should be able to take a screenshot or record a video, even if they don't have the TIC IDE studio... yes?

Maybe yes, but also we have to find a way to point a user to the saved video because it's hard to do without the console where we have the folder command.

Perhaps on some platforms they are just expected to know/read where the magic folder is? Or you could have a UI popup (probably also needs to be outside of studio)... That's a secondary problem though vs just being able to take them or not IMHO. :)
