Issue saving a picture

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I was able to get a picture to save to my photos directory. But when it does it in simulator (and saves in Desktop), it also creates a directory called Picture, which has my entire app source directory in it? Is it doing this in my Photos directory?

it looks like,

Picture1.jpg

Picture1 [Folder with my entire source in it]

Picture2.jpg

Picture2 [Folder with my entire source in it]

Picture3.jpg

etc…

what am I doing wrong?

picture = display.captureScreen(true) picture.x = halfW picture.y = halfH atrace (picture) media.save( picture , system.TemporaryDirectory )

going to log this in as a bug/simulator only. I checked the directory in Photos and it successfully just saves the photo. Also my name says starter I’m totally pro yo! :smiley:

Hi. This is really important…

How do I force it to prompt the user to “Access the Photo Library”, especially after an initial decline?

Or better yet, is there a way to check to see if it’s not accessable so I can put up a prompt telling them to access it through their Settings / Privacy / PhotoAlbum ?
