Perfect Screenshot

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Perfect Screenshot

Perfect Screenshot offers key bindings to automatically hide your interface while taking screenshots.

Usage

SHIFT-PrintScreen shoots with the UI and names hidden.
CTRL-PrintScreen shoots with the UI hidden, but names shown.
ALT-PrintScreen temporarily disables combat text, and shoots after existing text has cleared from the screen.
All key bindings can be edited from the Blizzard Key Bindings menu, or quickly via /ps

Any chance of a colaboration with AchievementSnap? Id really like to be able to get auto screenshots of achievements (with the achievement frame) while turning off things like the UI :)

Not sure if this would work. If you hide the UI you will probably also hide the achievement popup. Otherwise it should be pretty simple to make both work together.

From what i understand turning off the UI hides the Achievement frame. You would need an addon to disable the UI and add a pic of the achievement to the screen.

I found a reason for the error, Blizzard reworked CVars for "show unit names".

Now they are
UnitNameOwn
UnitNameNPC
UnitNameEnemyGuardianName
UnitNameEnemyTotemName
UnitNameFriendlyGuardianName
UnitNameFriendlyTotemName
UnitNameNonCombatCreatureName

I'm writing new PerfectScreenshot.lua right now. :)

Seems to work pretty well. Only issue is that it fails to restore companion names after the screenshot is taken. Would love a fix to this!

Found the fix myself. In your LUA, where you are restoring the UI, your variable is misspelled "UnitNameCompanionNam". Knew it'd be an easy fix! :) Loving this addon!

Hides the UI, but the 'screen captured' indicator shows.

ScreenPlus hides that, but doesn't hook into viewports. Maybe you could look at their code and see?

ScreenPlus is written in French -.-

All variables and function names are in French, really sucks to read.

Well, I found something that should hide the "Screen Captured" text before taking a screenshot. Hope it works.
