    I'm trying to take full screenshots of the display . I don't want to be touching the keyboard throughout the performance and wondered if this is possible to do with some nice shell command.
    The closest I have got is with the [jit.desktop] object, but surely there is an easier way?
    Many thanks

      you could use screencapture command line with the shell object?

      Hi Emmanuel. Thanks for the advice.
      I've had a look at the shell object but I don't really know what i'm doing when it comes to osx syntax...
      Does this look close at all?

      Close ;-) Here's an example which saves a jpeg on your desktop with the date and time as the file name.

      Amazing...thanks a lot Emmanuel.
      BTW, is there somewhere that these commands are documented? Would be very handy to learn.
      Cheers!
