Title: Saving a Screenshot
Post by: rupertvz on June 12, 2018, 12:10:37 AM

Hi Guys,

What is the easiest way to let a client save a screenshot to a NWF?

Hi Rupert,

So obviously the screen is on the user's computer, not your server.
they could take a screenshot using alt-PrintScreen, that will copy it to the clipboard, then paste into Paint, or Word, or whatever.

Of course it really begs the question on _why_ you think your users should be taking screen-shots in the first place...

cheers
Bruce

Thanks Bruce,

Users have two monitors and taking screenshots of results obtained from a 3rd party app (2nd monitor), which they need to "paste" with comments in the NetTalk web-app (1st monitor).

It will be easier for them to paste directly into a NWF, if this would be possible?

It's possible, but would require some custom JavaScript, and probably some custom server side handling as well.
It would also probably require a modern browser.

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6333814/how-does-the-paste-image-from-clipboard-functionality-work-in-gmail-and-google-c for some ideas.
