[.screenshot] folder?

[shadowd]

Hi - I have noticed there is a [.screenshot] folder that contains an image from an app on my phone. I know totalcommander created this folder and that it is not a native device folder. What is it used for and how did this image appear in this folder?

Thanks

Kelley

No, it's not created by Total Commander. Which device do you use? For example, on the nexus 7 you can create screenshots by pressing the volume down and power buttons at the same time.

Hi -

I am using a Nexus 7 version 4.1.1. Is this were all screenshots are stored?

Thanks for the fast reply! I don't recall using this functionality.

No, mine are in /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Screenshots, but I'm using Android 4.2.1. There is a subdir "Screenshots" (without dot) too, but it contains only one screenshot. Maybe it's the dir used by Android 4.1.1?

Just try to create a new screenshot as I described above, and check where it goes.

Thanks! I am waiting on my co-worker to bring the device in. I will let you know..thanks again for the great fast reply. Love the tool!

Hi - I found out that the folder stores whatever screen is visible on the device when you connect via usb and open up total commander.

The normal screenshots go in the location you pointed out earlier.

Maybe it's caused by a plugin (e.g. the ADB plugin)?
