OK, so what is changed in the new viewer that makes it impossible to take properly-proportioned snapshots (upload to SL) ??????????????????????????:(

I was doing fine in the old viewer and now, all my snaps are squished!

I've tried 512x512, 256x256, custom (which does not seem to really work) and current window.

I made a circle or the end of a cylinder as a ref and it looks fine when I look at, looks fine in current window (preview) and uploads as an oval!!!!!

I do the same with 512x512 and it looks (previews) as an oval and uploads as an oval!!!!!

I run SL in a window, have a 1440x900 display (17" laptop) and have the viewer figure out the "aspect ratio"

What is going on???

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-4586 ... go and vote.

This bug has been around for half a dozen First Look and Release Candidate versions now. Someone must have redesigned the snapshot window when they were half asleep.

Thank heavens, the jira says a fix is pending.

I hope so... among other things I use to colaborate with www.slmen.com, and those pics aren't good at all for our articles ...

It's been heck for my friend Robin, who usually saves vendor shots to her desktop as a square. SL won't let her do dat at all now.
