In addition, please don’t kill the system’s print screen function. I like being able to paste the image directly into an image manipulation program.

What if you can choose to upload it to a temp roblox image server.
And a link to roblox’s image is put into the chat or it’s seperate “notification” tab

The problem with a visual cue is that if you were to take more than one screenshot in a row within a short period of time it would also capture the visual cue. I would move for an audio cue of some sort.

So have the screenshot ignore the cue.

I’m not sure how easy that would be for the developers, but I guess so, yeah.

#8

Sometimes I cant escape it when its frozen and I have to shut down my computer, really annoying

#9

Yeah. The picture should be both copied to the clipboard + saved to the screenshots folder.

#10

Agreed. While we’re at it:

This should exist but shouldn’t be visible when screenshots are taken.

Your idea is really nice, It would be nice if we can use this along with ‘Followers’, so there is a reason you follow someone- it does nothing now

#12

Thats something native to Windows since you can do that just by screenshotting your desktop and has nothing to do with ROBLOX’s own screenshot system.

#13

Are you on windows?

Here’s a test, if you are:

  1. press prntscr on your desktop and paste it into paint
  2. open a roblox game, press prntscr and paste it into paint

notice a difference?

#14

Windows 10.
I don’t notice a difference. Am I overlooking something?

#15

I just want it to

  • Not have a popup
  • Print the screen to my clipboard so I can Ctrl+V in discord or something.
#16

Did the image of the roblox window paste into paint?

#17

I’m kind of confused because I don’t get that popup. Press the ‘Never show this again’ button?

The client does still freeze for a second, and the visual cue in the bottom right still shows up in sequential screenshots.

#18

Well yeah and it pasted my 2nd monitor screen as well, exactly as Windows usually behaves.

#19

Regardless of your experience with Roblox not screwing it up, others like myself have experienced it, and it is very aggravating.

This is a recent change in windows 10. Roblox used to eat the print-screen and you couldn’t paste it into paint; it’d only show up in the MyPictures folder. Now I can paste it in paint - with the change that it pastes the whole desktop including the game window. Before, to get the roblox client pasteable into paint, you had to lose focus by clicking the desktop in windowed mode.

This doesn’t seem useful as it stands. It would be nice if we add a notification when you take a screenshot, and you could somehow click on that to share the screenshot on Roblox.

I would like to see Roblox’s visual cue for screenshots be like the one Android has where a white box tweens from the corners of the screen and back out in about half a second(if you have an Android phone, you know what I’m talking about). It’s not very intrusive and is a very simple cue. They also have a shutter sound play to give an audio cue as well. With the cue only being half a second or so, it’s not likely that a normal user would happen to take multiple screenshots that quickly that they have the cue visible as well.
