Open the snapshot floater.
check HUDs and/or Interface
save a photo to disk in the usual way
close the snapshot floater
---- the photo you saved has the interface and/or HUDs shown
from the advanced menu, shortcuts choose snapshot to disk, or use the actual shortcut key
this photo has no interface or HUD shown

"from the advanced menu, shortcuts choose snapshot to disk, or use the actual shortcut key" use the normal standard settings so that is not activate the interface and/or HUDs so thats normal.
The snapshot function
rawSnapshot()
has its own parameter, show_ui
. If this parameter is set to FALSE
, the viewer interface for the snapshot is disabled. so it is in the viewer. File.TakeSnapshotToDisk calls the direct snapshot with show_ui = FALSE, the user interface is still hidden or not rendered. so the advanced menu, shortcuts choose snapshot to disk have this in the viewer default on false and it must be made in the Firestorm-Quellcode changed and with true compiled.
so if you use the firestorm you must write it to the firestorm team in the firestorm support group perhabs. if it is the second life viewer it must be made in the SL viewer changed in the code. but in the normal snapshot floater you can change many more so use this better.

Webbi Jonson This matches what I have observed. I hit a similar issue in FS, when i found the Flickr snapshots didn't take the checkbox values either. I made JIRA in FS and was told that yes the code specifically didn't copy the values, it was in their opinion, intended behaviour.
My use case is in sailing. I want to set up the snapshot floater as i want it before sailing, and during the sailing press a shortcut key combination to save an image, there's often not enough time to click photo on the navbar, click save on the snapshot floater, then close the floater - by that time i have crashed. It's the same when i tried to send a snapshot to FLICKr. Too much interaction required to be practical.
This probably explains why there are so few pictures of sailing from the sailors viewpoint ....

Hi Bavid,
This issue does not reproduce for me. I'm using a M1 mac with the same Second Life Release 26.3.0.31203661088 viewer.
I don't know what would cause this to happen, so we should look at the logs. Please Reproduce this issue, log out, and then zip up your viewer logs folder. This page tells you where to find the logs folder: https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/how-to-report-a-bug-r224/
Next, email the zip file to bug-attachments@lindenlab.com and reference the issue name in the email subject line.
Leave a comment on this canny issue once that's done so we can take a look at the logs.
Thank you!
