Hi all,
Currently (v16.04 & master), runSofa saves screenshots of a simulation into a subdirectory of sofa’s installation. This is very inconvenient for subsequent conversion into videos, as screenshots of any simulation get dumped into the same folder.
I believe it makes more sense to save screenshots into a subdirectory of the current working directory, i.e. next to the sofa scene file:
In applications/projects/runSofa/Main.cpp:336:
– BaseGUI::setScreenshotDirectoryPath(Utils::getSofaPathPrefix() + “/screenshots”, true);
+ BaseGUI::setScreenshotDirectoryPath(“./screenshots”, true);This would also make the screenshots more discoverable for novice users, as the folder would show up next to the scene file.
Hi Raphael,
You’re right with the video problem: all the screenshots get in the same folder and it quickly becomes messy.
However, I think that having a screenshot folders next to the scene files would make things more complicated (screenshot folders everywhere). Moreover, nothing would change for the video mess problem…I guess it would be cool to have a structure like this (located in build root directory):
screenshots/ scene_name/ scene_name_00000001.png scene_name_00000004.png video_00000001/ scene_name_00000002.png scene_name_00000003.pngWhat do you think ?
Anyway, if you implement cool features in Sofa and you want to propose them to the community, do not hesitate to open Pull Requests in our GitHub 😉
Cheers,
Guillaume.
