@Rainer Oehry
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please read the revised bug header above.

In your scripts you either have to use (undotted)
capture()

or 
Screen().capture().getFile()

to get a filename in temp storage.



** Summary changed:

- [1.1.1 final] Screen().capture() does not return path --- use Screen().capture().getFile()
+ [1.1.1 final] Screen().capture() does not return path --- use Screen().capture().getFile() or capture() in scripts

** Description changed:

  **************** correct usage to get a filename in temp storage
  
  Screen().capture().getFile()
+ 
+ or in a script use the undotted version as documented:
+ capture()
+ 
+ -- explanation:
+ The intended behaviour of the capture feature is to create an in-memory image in the first place (implemented at the Java level).
+ At the script level there is a convenience capture() (undotted usage, bound to the SCREEN object being), which returns the filename of the image stored in temp storage.
+ 
+ That in versions before 1.1.1 Screen().capture() returned a filename
+ instead of a ScreenImage object was a bug, that never was discovered.
  
  -------------------------------------------
  
  In 1.1.1 Screen().capture() returns
  "org.sikuli.script.ScreenImage@4d1ab2e0
  
  in 1.1.0 Screen().capture() returns
  "...\AppData\Local\Temp\Sikulix_1083747527\sikuliximage-1500565358268.png"
  
  Same script, just switching between 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 IDE
  
  Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 64-Bit
  
  Thanks
