Hi!
How do you manage to do screen dumps of your results in a mansion. When I try I get the start game etc window, just as take the dump. I use Alt - Shift 4 and drag the cursor. I think the window change when I start press on the mouse. Any ideas?

I use the Apple Utility Grab. But I also play in a window instead of full screen, at least at the end of the game.

I always play in a window. Full screen is to big (20") to play in. I have never used Grab. Do I have to start the program before I am at the end of a game?

Yup. I have it running and at the right instance I click on it in the dock. The MM screen freezes and then I do the selection option. When you select that it will throw an annoying dialog box up that you can move but if you're on a 20" then you'll have no issues.

Hope this helps,

Thanks! I'll try it. I am snowed in today so I can't go to work ;D. Can do what ever I want!!!

It doesn't work. As soon as I click on the dock I get the start window. This is when I try to grab the ending window with my results.

Apple/Shift/4 takes a screen shot no matter what view. It has an annoying habit of stacking icons in the upper right screen. Just go to the Finder window, select all, go to clean-up under View, and they'll neatly restack on your screen. This is how I get screen shots of those diabolic mazes (not mentioning any names, of course!)

That is the key combination I also use but when I want the result window, the one with all money, found secrets in percent etc., change window as soon as I start selecting the window!

My icon don't stack but I guess I have more spave on the Desktop. :)

Apple/Shift/3 - So Sorry for the mistake :-[

I did this with that combination apple/shift/3 - as I said, though, it messes up your desktop icons, but that's easy to fix

The only way I can manage it without taking a shot of the whole screen (shift-command -3) is by using Grab. When I get to the result window I have to use command + forward key to choose Grab. Use the keys for taking a shot of a window. Now I can use the mouse and click on the button to choose a window and then click on the window in MM.

In earlier days I used ScreenShot Pro. But indeed, I got the same problem. Suddenly (with version MM 1.0.x), using SSP did stop MM. Stop in the sense of pauze during play, but also going to the main menu, when at the Mansion Complete!-screen.

That is why I only use COMMAND+SHIFT+3 now. And if needed, I resize the pic  afterwards.

In addition to cmd-shift-3, cmd-shift-4 lets you select a specific region of the screen that you want to capture. And if you hit the spacebar after pressing cmd-shift-4, you can grab the contents of any window you choose. Since you play in a window, this is probably the most convenient option for you.

Indeed. That is right.

Hi guys! It sounded so good to try cmd-shift-4 together with spacebar so I tried it at once. BUT I still had to use the mouse to choose the window and this is the result

>:( :'(
