Save image to specific folder

in Programming Questions • 2 years ago

Hey,

I just want to save images from my current sketch to a specific folder outside my sketch folder.

It nearly works when using this code to save.

void keyReleased() {
imageCount ++;
if (key == 's'') save("/Users/myName/Desktop/test-file/data/"+saveFile("imageName"+imageCount+".png"));
}

When running this script it saves the image inside the "data" folder, but builds up several more subfolders. So when looking for the saved image I find it inside: "Users/myName/Desktop/test-file/data/ Users/myName/Desktop/test-file/data". Any ideas why this happens? I don't want all these subfolders rebuilded in the original data folder. I just want to save all images in the data folder addressed within the save-function.

Thanks for your help!!

I have no idea what saveFile() is. I assume it returns a String? But it's arguments are a String that make a complete file name! It seems unnecessary to me.

I'm not sure how to pick any folder on your system to save images at, but you can do:

save("print/" + yourImageName);

This will save your image inside your sketch folder into a new folder named "print". Hit CTRL+K or CMD+K to look at your sketch folder.

Oh I see... I just had to remove the "saveFile" and now it saves the images perfectly well. Thanks!!!
