store in variable without saving to disk

[ashwin31]

Is it possible to store in variable without saving to disk?

like the following?

import 'package:screen_capturer/screen_capturer.dart';

CapturedData? capturedData = await screenCapturer.capture(
  mode: CaptureMode.screen
);

Hi @lijy91 can you guide me how to do this?

All three platforms support saving to the clipboard after taking a screenshot. In theory, you only need to read the picture from the clipboard after the screenshot is successful.

Thank you but the path is mandatory in the capture function. so, the file is being saved in the imagePath. Can you please make the imagePath parameter as optional.

The modified code does not support Mac or Linux. Please consider retaining compatibility with existing code on current platforms.

It will be supported in the next version, examples are as follows:

await screenCapturer.capture(
  mode: CaptureMode.region,
  copyToClipboard: true,
);

Is there a way to just capture the image data without using the clipboard?

Please update to 0.1.5

The clipboard must be used now, but the image data can be obtained through CapturedData.imageBytes.

Can you at least share the issues that are preventing such an implementation? I've worked with screen capture libraries on Mac before without having to go through the clipboard or the file system, so if it's a Mac issue I could contribute.
