In VLC MP 2.0.2, I had tried to take snapshot pictures. But when I go to Playlist and clicked "My Pictures," there nothing on the screen. What happened?

Look at the logs.

What do you mean by "logs?" Explain that!

To help you, we need messages, to completely understand what your problems is.
To fix this, please be sure before you start the playback to:
  1. Open: Tools -> Messages.
  2. Set Verbosity to 2
  3. Start playback to reproduce your issue
  4. Save text in a file or copy into clipboard
  5. Then paste the full resulting log here between [​code]and[​/code] (or use Pastebin.com if it's too long)
Also don't forget to name your Operating System and provide the VLC media player version.

I think you'll find that it's because screenshots taken with VLC aren't automatically added to your "My Pictures" playlist - the playlist is a static list that isn't auto-updated.
If you look in the My Pictures folder on your computer (the default) you'll likely find your screencaps there; you would have to manually add the new files to the playlist and save it before you could browse them with VLC.
Hope that helps.
