Currently, we have the option to save screenshots of the chart window and main window to a file. We can also save a screenshot of the chart window to the clipboard using the Copy Chart Image function. However, we cannot save a screenshot of the main window to the clipboard. The Copy Main Window Image function is missing. I often take screenshots of the entire platform (using external software) and post them to my Discord. However, this requires an extra step, which I find annoying. Could we therefore add a function to copy a screenshot of the main window to the clipboard? Thank you. |

Is that really necessary? Win+Shift+S brings up the Snipping Tool. You can set it to always copy a window. Assuming SC is already in focus, a final click copies the entire Main window to the clipboard. PS: You can also hit the PrtSc (Print Screen) button to bring up the Snipping Tool. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots-00246869-1843-655f-f220-97299b865f6b |

In my opinion, it is necessary. Currently, I can take a screenshot of the chart window by simply clicking a button in the control bar or pressing a keyboard shortcut. It is very quick and convenient. Your suggestion is no different from what I'm doing now. It requires extra steps. However, thank you for the tip 😉 |

This will be added to the next release. It is not difficult because the core functionality for this already exists. It is really mostly just adding a menu command. The image capture functionality of Sierra Chart, was enhanced several months ago, and has a unified way of taking images with all different types of parameters to control behavior. We added the ability to also copy to the system clipboard. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
