[1.1.1 final] Screen().capture() does not return path --- use Screen().capture().getFile() or capture() in scripts

[Samson Truong]

**************** correct usage to get a filename in temp storage

Screen().capture().getFile()

or in a script use the undotted version as documented:
capture()

-- explanation:
The intended behaviour of the capture feature is to create an in-memory image in the first place (implemented at the Java level).
At the script level there is a convenience capture() (undotted usage, bound to the SCREEN object being), which returns the filename of the image stored in temp storage.

That in versions before 1.1.1 Screen().capture() returned a filename instead of a ScreenImage object was a bug, that never was discovered.

-------------------------------------------

In 1.1.1 Screen().capture() returns "org.sikuli.script.ScreenImage@4d1ab2e0

in 1.1.0 Screen().capture() returns "...\AppData\Local\Temp\Sikulix_1083747527\sikuliximage-1500565358268.png"

Same script, just switching between 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 IDE

Why did you change your mind?

Seems really to be a bug in 1.1.1

[Rainer (formulator)]

I can confirm the bug. Same environment as Samson Truong.

Isn't this the same bug as 1589474 from 2016-06-06 that was supposed to have been fixed?

@Rainer Oehry
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please read the revised bug header above.

In your scripts you either have to use (undotted)
capture()

or
Screen().capture().getFile()

to get a filename in temp storage.
