Windows Can't Open Screenshots

[Lolasaurus]

Hey all,

I'm using screen_save function to save a few screenshots, but when I go to open them in %localappdata% they simply will not open with any media program except Paint. Paint can then save them as a .png which i can open with Windows Photo Viewer, but I was of the idea that Gamemaker saved screenshots as .png already?

Any ideas to help a fellow fellow?

Thanks in advance!

firstly in your file view at the top go to "View" and to the right make sure "file name extensions" is ticked on so that you can see if it truly is a png.

Secondly don't forget when you call screen_save you have to put + ".png" at the end of the file name

Bingo, needed to add the ".png" extension in the command. Thanks a heap mate.
