Taking a screenshot [updates for webOS 2.x] 10

by Adam Marks Thu, 10 Mar 2011 11:43 am EST

Taking a screenshot in webOS 2.0 works the exact same as it does in webOS 1.0. Simply press the Option (orange or silver key) + Sym + P at the same time. You will find a copy of the screenshot (as a .png file) in the "Screen captures” folder in the Photos app and the "screencaptures" directory on your USB Drive. However, there are two noticeable differences of how screenshots work in webOS 2.0.

Within the Photos app, the screenshots are sorted so that the most recent picture shows up first instead of last
You can now take screenshots within PDK apps (such as Angry Birds or Sabre Ultimate). You can typically tell an app is a PDK app if you do not see the "top bar" on the screen that shows the name of the app, the time, your Wi-Fi/network signal strength and battery icon.

Don't forget you also get a little camera shutter sound now when you take screenshots.

I don’t find this way easy at all, I hoped they would have improved that, like just a relatively long press on the screen that pops up some menu, or a combination of 2 keys instead of 3

I totally agree with you. 3 keys aren't really userfriendly.

3 keys is great.. No 2 keys would work.. Unless you hold the gesture are and tap the screen

maybe orange+space bar... That would be perfect

Taking screenshots is the COOLEST, yet, the MOST difficult thing to do! WebOS Intenals should make a patch, for 1.4x, that makes a shutter sound, when you DO Finally press All Three Buttons, At Th Same Time!! :-(
