Paste screenshot in HISE plugin?
-
@Oli-Ullmann I hope to make a VST notebook plug-in to record what plug-ins are used in the track
-
@CatABC
Okay, so you want to take a screenshot of the plug-in background? I don't think that's possible. -
@CatABC You could make a file dropper. Screenshot, then drop the pic onto the drop panel then you can really do whatever you want with it. I dont know if ctrl+v is possible exactly but you could def make a notebook app.

Or perhaps monitor changes in the screenshot folder and create a sort of thumbnail explorer, click to select one…
Hise made me an F5 dude, browser just suffers...
-
@Oli-Ullmann yes，
-
@Chazrox Ok, thank you very much, I try it
-
@Oli-Ullmann perhaps with a background task to run an external process, but I’ve never done it myself…
-
@ustk I thought about using pre-made images, but that would be a lot of work. Also, I wanted the plugin panel parameters to be visible as well, so I thought a screenshot would be better.
-
@ustk thats a good one!

That sounds interesting! To do that, you would definitely have to check which OS is being used, as different operating systems use different folders. I'm also not sure if this can be configured individually for some operating systems... Tricky!

I have never used a background task for this purpose either...

This could just be asked to the user at first launch and stored in a pref file
Then background task to run a bash script (but yeah this one is OS dependent)
