Re: Cannot PNG capture with Frescobaldi macOS 10.13.5

[Joshua Nichols]

I know how to work around, that's what I've been doing. I'm trying to regain functionality because I'm working through hundreds of examples and to crop and custom size every single one of these is going to be a big task (3x the work).

Do you have any advice otherwise? How can I get my hands on 3.0? Or what about a different reinstall process?

Ben, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Using the auto-crop feature is so useful when including pictures in scholarly works, etc. That's actually what I was working on before it crashed.

Have any other ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean by "PNG capture", whether it's PNG
generation from LP using --png, or screen capture using the
Mac equivalent of scrot, or something else entirely (I don't
use Fresco).

Would the scrot-style approach be a suitable workaround?
(I don't know whether MacOS is sufficiently unix-like to
actually run scrot.)

I'm not an OSX person, but isn't there a feature where you can just take a screenshot of the display from within the system itself? I'd be surprised if that didn't exist. (think: printscreen / https://www.itg.ias.edu/content/keyboard-shortcuts-capture-screen-shot-mac-os-x )

Once you had that screenshot, you could at least use a software to crop, annotate, etc. - as a workaround right?

i..e on Windows, Irfanview, Greenshot, etc.
