Use f.SaveAsPicture(p,150) //f = FolderItem, p = Picture, 150 = PNG format

You can use:

QTGraphicsExporter.SavePicture( Location as FolderItem, Image as Picture )

FolderItem.SaveAsPicture Picture as Picture, [Format as Integer]

Hello Greg,

you can use for example a class called QTGraphicsExporter.

Dim f as FolderItem
Dim e as QTGraphicsExporter
Dim m as Boolean

f = GetSaveFolderItem(“”,”realbasiccity”)
e = GetQTGraphicsExporter(“JPEG”)
m = e.RequestSettings
e.DesiredTargetDatasize = 36
e.CompressionQuality = 512
e.OutputFileType = “JPEG”
e.OutputFileCreator = “ogle”
m = e.SavePicture(f,realbasiccity) //realbasiccity is a graphics add to your project tab.

But there can be a problem with working this on a no Mac system… I don’t have Windows in this moment to check this.

Thanks for the great tutorials, saves alot of headaches. My question is the jpg that is being saved, it is very poor quality (windows). Are there any adjustments to compression, etc. that can be altered?
