. . Oops . . . haven't tried that since DreamCard 2.6 (remember
that???): just tried /export snapshot from stack xxx/ and it "threw a
bluey", so I don't know what you are doing.
However, /export snapshot from card zzz/ does a perfectly respectable job.
Exporting a rect grabs the specified portion of the screen buffer, which
will also include anything an external blitted to the window but of
course is limited to the screen bounds.
Exporting an object will cause the object (and if it's a group or a card
any interior objects) to be rendered into a new buffer, which will work
regardless of where the source object is located (even off screen), but
what an external may paint over the card isn't an object per se so LC's
rendering engine has no way to create that when it generates into its
buffer.
If the external could be modified to use an image object as its output
you'd have all sorts of flexibility for handling it.
