Multiple Screenshot Export

Asked by David Hynes

Hi, I'm brand new to this, and I was hoping ya'll could help me.

I'm trying to automate taking multiple screenshots (500+) and exporting them into a folder. (Later to be turned into a PDF)

More specifically, in between each screenshot, the mouse will move the browser to another screen (back/forward, I got that part down, simple "click(selected back-arrow)").

I've read the answer to question 176302, but my coding skills are lacking.

I've been using the "Capture" tool, but those images do not seem to be saved anywhere that I can export them to.

I've been using the IDE, and maybe that was my problem?

Thanks so much,
-David

import shutil
import os
num = 0 # to create some file name
dir = "some-path-where-you-want-to-have-the-images"
image = capture(some_region) # which might be SCREEN
# image now is an image file in temp
shutil.move(image, os.path.join(dir, "image%d.png"%(num)))
this moves the current image as "image0.png" to your dir
num += 1

only an example to show the principle -you might have other ideas how to form your filenames

Can you help with this problem?
