VBox 4.2.0: Taking screenshots from GUI

Post by WojtasJD »

Hi,

I have VirtualBox 4.2.0 on WinXP Pro SP3 host.
The option from VM Window menu: Machine -> Take screenshot... [Host+E] does not work good for me :| After pressing Save button, screenshot does not appear in selected folder (regardless of selected type from drop-down list).

But If I type also dot and extension - the screenshot is saved.

I suspect that the drop-down list is ignored...

To take screen shots you have to go into Devices (In which ever os you are running at the time) and change shared clipboard and/or Drag and drop to whatever directional you want.
