[Feature Requests] Screenshot #5

Ever considered packing a MonoGame screenshot feature?

Maybe. I wrote a screenshot implementation before. It basically does these:

  1. switch to another render target (such as a Texture2D);
  2. render current frame again;
  3. switch back to the original render target;
  4. save the contents in the render target to somewhere.

It's not that complicated. After getting the raw image data it's up to you to decide how to deal with it. In the old days SaveAsPng() didn't work so I copy the data to a System.Drawing.Bitmap (mind the color components!) to do the saving.
