Strange Behavior With Picasa
skywalka:
Hi Mouser.
If I am running Picasa and I take a screenshot a file is created by Picasa: eg
C:\Users\username\Pictures\Picasa\Screen Captures\Fullscreen capture 2052013 11921 PM.bmp
If I delete that Picasa folder and take another screenshot the path will be recreated.
The file above is bmp but my preferences are set to png by default. I'm also using a different naming structure.
Don't autosave captures is also enabled.
I am baffled as to why this is occurring. Do you know why this is happening?

This is Picassa being helpful ;) whether you want that help or not...
On my older Picasa install is made the folder under My Pics. There's no related settings in Options. I forget how I stopped it, and I dont have the most recent Picasa version - best do a search about how to stop it.
(I think I had to completely stop access to the folder - I see Folder Properties>Security/Permissions is set to 'deny')
skywalka:
Where is Picasa getting the file from? Some temp directory?

I presume it steals the printscreen key, and either makes the screenshot itself, or uses wiondow's screenshot capability (probably the latter, which makes a bmp and places it on the clipboard).
Why do you ask?
skywalka:
Just curious.
