screenshot location on linux/pi5...

Post by gomisensei »

can't figure out how to set, or where the default would be, but i get [Error] Unable to open 'Screenshot 2024-04-06 (23-31-57).bmp' for writing.

It's supposed to go in a Screenshots subdirectory either in ~/.supermodel/ or wherever Supermodel is. And if this does not exist, it should create it. But I don't know how your directory structure is set up or permissioned. See here for the code. Logic seems a bit convoluted but someone submitted this and said this was the UNIX Way(TM). If save states work, it should be creating a Screenshots directory next to the Saves directory.

fixed some permissions and it seems to drop them in the root directory, not Screenshots. using pushd to simulate directories, tho so may just be a setup issue. More convolution...

What’s pushd? Can Supermodel live in a subdirectory of your home directory?
