How do acquire images to disk and specify he path and name within the macro?

DavidW

I tied recording this within the capture interface but the only thing that was recorded was the capture.

I want to create an app where a user can select a path as a save location (ideally with a "browse" button) and enter a prefix and automatically save the images when the user clicks capture.

David,

The capture commands have many more parameters than what is recorded by default. You can make them appear by clicking "Display All" in the Properties panel when looking at the macro in design view.

You can also ask to record all in order to see them in code view, or just add the few that matter:

    Public Function NewMacro() As SimpleScript
        NewMacro = New SimpleScript
        Dim image1

        With Capture.CaptureCommands.Settings(NewMacro)
            .CaptureToFile=True
            .FilePath="D:\"
            .Run()
        End With

        With Capture.CaptureCommands.Acquire(NewMacro)
            .Run(Nothing, image1)
        End With

    End Function

Then you should be able to insert this code into your app and link it to a browse button. I'll post something separately to show how to browse for a file.

Thanks, that worked. However, it is strange to me that it didn't record those options that I had explicitly changed during the recording.

Yes there appears to be an issue with the recording of some capture settings changes, I filed a bug and this will be addressed in the next capture patch.
