Can't take screenshot

    Howdy,

    I'm creating a theme that I wish to publish and want to take a screenshot of the rEFInd UI as a preview. However, I can't seem to get that feature to work.

    When I press F10, the screen goes black, with the exception of a small white line in the top left which might be a terminal cursor (though nothing happens if I type). If I press F10 again, the following message appears in yellow: "Error: Volume Full in egSaveFile()" And every time I press F10 again after that, the same error is appended beneath the last. And at no point does pressing the \ key do anything.

    Ultimately, the root of the ESP has no BMP files saved.

    Does anyone have a guess as to what I might have misconfigured here?

    Thanks!

    How much free space does each of your EFI partitions have?

    I think RefindPlus uses png which takes much less space than bmp.

      Thanks for asking the right question here! The ESP on the drive that rEFInd is installed on has >700 MB of free space, but it's trying to save screenshots to my Windows ESP instead.

      I hadn't even considered looking at the Windows ESP, but upon inspection it definitely did save a handful of screenshots there before running out of space, so I was able to delete those and take some new ones. So that addresses the biggest problem. :)

      So I guess my lower priority question is now: is there a way to change the directory that rEFInd saves screenshots to? I don't see anything in refind.conf for it, and nothing stands out to me after poking around in the libeg directory either.
