MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - screenshot from imageviewer (directly)

foldh7 · 10-04-2010, 01:28 PM

I have an idea/feature request that could be possible with a jailbroken kindle and would be useful (for me at least):
The possibility to take a screenshot (alt+shift+G) and somehow view the saved image from the kindle.
This is possible by plugging in the kindle over usb and copying the saved *.gif image from the "documents" folder to a "pictures\screenshots" folder...but I would like to achieve this WITHOUT having to connect the kindle to a PC.

Use case:
Railroad time table lookup over the browser. Store the result (as Screenshot) and be able to load it later - without 3G/WiFi or USB/PC connection.

Approach:
No idea ;-) Perhaps even a symlink from documents folder to pictures\screenshots would already do the job? I tried set this up: But creating symlinks is not allowed / possible (when attached over USB as fat filesystem). And microsoft ".lnk" does not work (as expected).

Perhaps one of the jailbreak experts could advise if / how this could be done - or would even be so kind to create a patch just for me...
