get file path from display.newImage()

#1

Is it possible to generate a file path from display.newImage() or simply duplicating the display object itself.

I am working with media.capture and I don’t know how to get the path to the file without saving it first.

Cheers,

Phil

By default media.capturePhoto() only returns a display.newImage object.  You have to provide a table as a second parameter that gives the function a file name and path to save to.  See:

media.capturePhoto( { listener=onComplete }, {baseDir=system.TemporaryDirectory, filename=“picture.jpg”, type=“image/jpeg” )
