DEV-16788

Description

« Hide

Possibly related issues affecting the taking of Snapshots, using RCs in the 1.20.x generation (or later).

While some of the linked issues are not critical, three of them are (were) classified as such. Thus my rationale for marking this meta-issue critical as well.

- Topic retitled and priority reset to "major" as the complete malfunction existing in some release candidates seems now to be history. (29 Jun 08)

Noting existing issues. Please add others that appear to be related, even if they may not be specifically keyed to Snapshot creation, as some of the screen glitches reported as associated behavior seem very odd indeed and might possibly be diagnostic clues for the devs?

Just linked another issue-I suspect they're all related. (Getting HUD objects in a screenshot would be bad enough, but on my XP machine I get BLACK screenshots...TOTALLY useless....)

I too cannot take snapshots.. either to hardrive or to upload in SL .. they all come out black and so useless. I cannot take pics of my items to sell and I'm sure if others are having the same problem this really needs to be addressed and sorted out asap... 'pretty please' .

Have only had this issue since the RC 9

Hopefully it won't prove more confusing, but now that the snapshot functionality of the 10.20 RC generation seems to have been cleared up, I'm adding issues related to finer-grain aesthetic considerations as well, particularly those that have to do with aspect ratio and the rendering of pics in various SL contexts. Torley's http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3692 issue seemed like a particularly good one to start this expansion with.

Updated to better reflect current priorities relative to Snapshots, image uploads, textures and related issues.

Snapshot to disk will crash me 90% of the time.
It seems that after logging back in it will work but the longer I've been on line, the higher the probability of a crash.
I am using high resolution snapshots.
When it works there is usually about a 5 second delay or more before the store window comes up. When it fails it seems like that is where it quits, the window never appears and SL is hung up waiting for it.
Perhaps SL should have a doomsday timer in Snapshot to Disk so if the client operating system does not respond it aborts the snapshot instead of SL.

Most of the bugs are in 1.23 and snowglobe too.

I am also having the same issue of SL freezing and crashing each time I try to take a high-res snapshot to disk. This happens with the 1.22, 1.23, and Snowglobe viewers.
