Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-05-02 20:06:16 UTC 
This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/10295

"Hit the PrintScreen key in the Ubuntuized GNOME 2.10.0. Up comes a save dialog
with a preview of the screenshot. There are also two fields, "Name" and "Save in
Folder." Try typing a name *and* path in the Name field (e.g.,
"~/Screenshot.png"). Click OK. Then look for that screenshot file. It will have
disappeared -- the save will have failed silently.

Other GNOME2 apps don't behave this way. Evolution doesn't, for instance, and
Firefox (which I believe is using GNOME2, but I'm not sure) doesn't either. I'm
surprised that the save dialog isn't more standardized, such that it would be
impossible to use non-standard behavior like the Take Screenshot applet does."

I haven't looked at this specifically, but the current code is basically unable
to catch errors during the xfer from the tmp file to the final location.

patch for bug #167188 provides the code to get notified about the result of the
transfer and appropriately decide if exiting or not. Error messages should
probably be hooked up after that patch.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314446 has a patch about this too.
