Saving a QPixmap Object problem

[StrikerX]

Hi, i want to save a QPixmap object as File.png...

format=QtCore.QString("png") #to QString.
        intitialPath=QtCore.QDir.currentPath()+"/snapshot"+str(self.counter)+"."+format
 
        fileName=QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, "Save As", intitialPath, "PNG Files (*.png);;All Files (*.*)" )
        if not fileName.isEmpty():
            self.originalPixamp.save(fileName, format.toAscii())
        self.counter += 1

format=QtCore.QString("png") #to QString.
        intitialPath=QtCore.QDir.currentPath()+"/snapshot"+str(self.counter)+"."+format

        fileName=QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, "Save As", intitialPath, "PNG Files (*.png);;All Files (*.*)" )
        if not fileName.isEmpty():
            self.originalPixamp.save(fileName, format.toAscii())
        self.counter += 1

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

self.counter is just for formatting the snapshot name.

Error:

self.originalPixamp.save(fileName, QtCore.QString(format.toAscii()))
TypeError: argument 2 of QPixmap.save() has an invalid type

However, in C++ i used it the same way and it works ?!

I'm using PyQt4
Thanks in advance.

toAscii() returns a QByteArray. Use "PNG" or toAscii().constData() instead.

Thanks,

self.originalPixmap.save(fileName, format.toAscii().data())

self.originalPixmap.save(fileName, format.toAscii().data())

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

works fine.

Why not

self.originalPixmap.save(filename, "PNG")

self.originalPixmap.save(filename, "PNG")

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

?

Actually any 'd have worked, but the problem was about Spelling !
Wrong variable_name:

self.originalPixamp

self.originalPixamp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It should be: self.originalPixmap,

Thanks again.
