Wow – sorry you guys had crashes / freezes with it. I have not seen that so far. I do have some good news though – I asked the developer about paths and camera roll as a destination – they say they are working on a new version that will support that, and it should be out very soon 🙂

I’ve also had a lot of crashes and freezes in the process of using this application.

Hey, I was trying to find a Destination Path to put the screenshots into Photos. I found the path by doing some research. The path is…private/var/root/Media/DCIM/100APPLE
The only problem is that they won’t show up in the Photos app because they are .png for some reason. So I have to use MobileFinder to go and find them and then email them to me. A little complicated but they hopefully will fix that. For more info visit my blog at yournewfavoritevideogameblog.blogspot.com where I posted about it and other iPhone topics.

well, you’ve had way more luck with this application than I have. I wanted to try out the things you said were wrong, and geeze! Long story short:
-Had the same problem as you where it didn’t show the buttons until I restarted the spring board.
-It froze my phone 3 times, flashing fragments of images all over, and had to use the super emergency double restart.
-Had the same problem where it lost the screenshots I had before my phone restarted only in the tmp folder.
-I managed to get the app to except the path to the camera roll, but it wasn’t too successful after that. The screen shots don’t show up in the photos camera roll, and when I tried to view them through the screenshot app it freaked because it tried to load my whole camera roll in a list as large pics instead of thumbnails.
I have a theory for this tho, I noticed the pics still stay in the folder specified unlike the tmp folder. But they are .png files, not .jpg, and dont create thumbnails for themselves.
Sooooo I’m going to keep using the dock snapshots until this gets some updates. 😛
