Hello,

how I can cahnge the snapshot folder (default users temp)? The option "--snapshot-path=C:\..." doesn't work.

The funktion vlc.video.takeSnapshot(); creates an image in users temp folder and delete it immediately (watched with Sysinternals Process Monitor). The file will create but directly deleted. How can I copy the file before it is deleted?

tia,
Stefan Simon

As far as I know, it should work with v2.2.2.
