[RESOLVED] Bug in simconnect.CaptureImage ?

[obinder]

Hello @ll,

trying to use SimConnect_CaptureImage (managed code) to save screenshots from various view windows. The method doesn't work as expected though.

Example:
simconnect.CaptureImage("FlirShot", "C:\\Users\\lsidevel\\Pictures\\Prepar3D v4 Files\\FLIR", 2, this.viewName, false);

creates this file:
C:\Users\lsidevel\Pictures\Prepar3D v4 Files\FLIR.jpg

Expected result as per the Learning Center was
C:\Users\lsidevel\Pictures\Prepar3D v4 Files\FLIR\FlirShot.jpg
but I found no combination of parameters to achieve it without additional awkward work arounds.

Looks like the method is ignoring the szFileName parameter and builds the result from szFilePath alone.
