How to save to a folder on the c:\ drive ?
Jan 20th, 2010, 11:49am  
I know  save("test.png"); saves to the root of the sketch folder.

It's possible to run a dos command from processing to then move it to another folder, but is is possible to save directly to the desired location

e.g.  save("c:\test\test.png");

The command obviously returns an error due to the fact the line has a backslash.

Anyone has any ideas ?

Or just double the backslashes. But I prefer the forward slashes (working well in XP and above) as shown by Cedric.

Thanks a lot cedric and PhiLho, both worked. I will try to rend two separate sketches from the same location.

Thanks a lot.
