    I know how to create a folder on windows in the documents folder, but the problem is that I don't think that would be valid for mac & linux. I have no idea if the folders would be named/accessed in the same way because the method I've shown below is using the environment variables which are - as far as I'm aware - unique to each different OS.

    Anyway, to create a folder on the desktop (on windows at least) you can use this code...
    local dir = os.getenv("userprofile") .. "\\Documents\\"
lfs.mkdir(dir .. "\\Example Game Name")
lfs.mkdir(dir .. "\\Example Game Name\\Screenshots")

local time = os.date("%Y-%m-%d_%Hh-%Mm-%Ss")
createScreenshot(dir .. "\\Example Game Name\\screenshots\\" .. time .. ".png")

    Hi afrlme!

    A few weeks have passed since i have asked you a print solution.
    I just have finished a new (small) game which requires this print solution.
    I have tried your last one, and it works fine if i build my game on a windows platform.
    The problem is, it doesn't if i build the game on html5 platform which is the one i have to use.

    Do you have any other idea? smile 

    once again, many thanks! smile
