Having a problem with screenshots

Having a problem with screenshots
I'm new here (this is my first post to Apnea Board) and all ready to show my stuff, but unfortunately my screenshots have gone crazy.  Bear with me while I try to shift from thinking in CPAP mode to explaining this software problem.  I'm not very good at this.

When F12 is used to take a screenshot a .png file is created in the Screenshot folder, however when previewed it is not an image of the screen that was selected but something else -- perhaps a greatly enlarged portion of the image or some scrambled graphic data.  The problem of explaining this is complicated by the attachment protocol used here:  when I select the corrupted/faulty .png file (well, maybe not too corrupted because I can view it in Mac Preview) and paste in the [ Choose File ] box the file name is copied but is flagged with the notice and the file doesn't show on the post preview:

ATTACHMENT NOTICE: The attachment feature should be used for Sleep Apnea or CPAP-related images and files only.

It seems the attachment routine does not recognize the .png file as a valid SH screenshot file.  So, really two problems - corrupted screenshot & can't attach corrupted file to this post.  Perhaps I could send the pic attached to an email?  Anyone recognize what's gone wrong in either of these problems?

I'm using the Mac version of SH 1.1.0 on an old MacBook Air (Mid-2011) running OSX 10.11.6 and recently installed Sleepyhead v. 1.1.0-unstable-0 rev. 9da8b2a7 (as recommended) after having successfully used v. 1.0.0 for a while to observe my data and make screenshots.  Do I now have the correct (recommended) version installed?


Many thanks for any suggestions!

RE: Having a problem with screenshots
Second try at attaching a screenshot.  Realize that my assumption about attachment was wrong.

My problem seems to be that I can't find the "Add Attachment" button....

OK, now I've found it!  I had magnified the button off the screen.  Ah, the trials and tribulations of superannuation!

So, hopefully here is the corrupted screenshot I spoke of in my first post.  I will add a screenshot made when I was still using SH v. 1.0.0

Sorry about the fumbling.

RE: Having a problem with screenshots
F12 should take a .png format image file of what you see on-screen. I'm not sure what would result in the images you have posted above. On Apnea Board, we want to see an image that includes the Events, Flow Rate, pressure, leak rate, snore and flow limit. Most people won't get that all into an image, but it can be done. Including the Daily Sidebar (view F8) is also important information. Here is what a chart looks like from the new OSCAR software replacement that will shortly replace Sleepyhead.

RE: Having a problem with screenshots
Looking at what you have posted so far, you have intense obstructive apnea even with CPAP. In this image, your pressure starts at 5.0 and ends at 8.0 at the end of the sequence.  This pressure is clearly too low to resolve the obstructive apnea, and you need at a minimum, a higher minimum pressure. You may have a positional obstructive issue, but we still don't know your settings and therapy range. The Dreamstation Auto CPAP is far too slow to respond to events to use it at a 4-20 pressure range, and you must optimize this machine with higher minimum pressure.

Be sure the left column highlights details, not bookmarks so we can see the settings.  You can also adjust the zoom level to show the full therapy session, or a portion of it like this.   You're getting close....keep trying.

RE: Having a problem with screenshots
Thank you Sleeprider for your prompt response.  You say:

"F12 should take a .png format image file of what you see on-screen. ... "

But that is precisely the problem -- it does not.  I'll wait a day or so, but if no one has a suggestion, perhaps I should re-install SH v. 1.1.0 .  Thought of trying to go back to v. 1.0.0 but was dissuaded by the notice that that might corrupt my data.  (I am very impressed by the fine workmanship, thank you SleepyHead!)  I really wanted to send you and the Board a coherent story of my condition today but found that the snapshot feature of my present copy of SH does not work.

Go to Help > Show Debug Pane then press F12 and see what message it gives. It should give you something like this:

Debug: Saving screenshot to "C:/Users/Al/Documents/SleepyHeadData-master/Screenshots/screenshot-20190305-195009.png"

or it may give another clue as to why F12 is not functioning.
Using FlashAir W-03 SD card in machine. You can download your data through wifi with FlashPAP or Sleep Master utilities.

Stick it to the man, Download OSCAR and take back control of your data!

Thanks Ian. Like I didn't have enough Honey-Do projects to tackle. Mornincoffee

RE: Having a problem with screenshots
As for the second screenshot (made with SH v. 1.0.0), it was selected totally at random to show who ever is interested that I once had the capability.  I agree that one shows intense obstructive apnea.  Since that date (1/21/2019) the sleep clinic raised pressure to 7/15 and I raised it (with reservations) to 8/15.  Very few OAs now (usually.)

I guess I could scrounge thru my old screenshots and come up with a not-so-clear story, but better to solve this screenshot problem and organize things optimally.  The early shots were made to convince my PCP of something related to my incipient polycythemia, without much success as it turned out.

Hopefully will get my act together soon.

RE: Having a problem with screenshots
Thank you AlanE.  Debug returned the line:

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

697664: Debug: Saving screenshot to "/Users/craig/Documents/SleepyHeadData/Screenshots/screenshot-20190305-171422.png"

Have no idea if that has some hidden meaning. (the "p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } " wasn't in the list.

RE: Having a problem with screenshots
Polycythemia, or a high hemocrit is usually a result of testosterone replacement therapy or chronic low oxygen content. What is your hemocrit/ hemoglobin count? It's not something that shows up on the respiratory graphs.
