[HP50G] Screen Capture on MacOSX
Message #1 Posted by Miguel Saiz on 25 Sept 2007, 2:02 p.m.

I would like to capture a text screen [from the solver results]. I was reading through the manual, but the print screen function looks like that only works for Windows PC (I am using MAC and HPConnect), any way to do that?

Thanks in advance

Miguel

Well, I don't see any mention of screen captures at http://hpconnect.sourceforge.net/, or in the 0.9.1 release notes, so I doubt that they're available with HPConnect.

But the author sometimes posts on the comp.sys.hp48 usenet group, so you could ask about (or request) this feature on the newsgroup, or you could e-mail the author instead. Perhaps, if there's enough enthusiasm for screen captures, maybe he'll add this feature.

In case you don't already use a newsreader, the newsgroup can also be accessed at http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.hp48/.

Or maybe post a "feature request" at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hpconnect/.

Come to think of it, maybe complain to HP that they should develop their own connectivity kit for the Mac, instead of relying on unpaid volunteers for such things. I doubt that it would do much good, but it might make you feel better, at least temporarily.

Regards,
James

Thank you James. It is really a shame that HP doesn't provide Mac Connectivity. TI is doing that with, like you can see at http://www.electronista.com/articles/07/09/25/ti.ti.nspire/
