ok, thanks for feedback.

yes this is a historical oddity with the scripting and Java API:

SCREEN.capture() uses a Python implementation, that is bound to the
SCREEN object (a quasi constant for Screen(0)). Simply using capture()
would yield the same, since all Region/Screen functions are bound to
SCREEN when used undotted.

When you use Screen(x).capture() you use the function at the Java API
level in class Screen, which always returns a ScreenImage (with which
you can use getFile()).

This will to some extent be revised in 2.1.0, where the features for all
Objects with pixel content (Screen, Region, Match, Image, ScreenImage,
...) will be consolidated.

... but there is always the need for being as backwards compatible as
possible or needed.

Title:
  [2.0.2] VNC: capture() returns ScreenImage instead of filename

Status in Sikuli:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In 2.0.2, on 64 bit Arch Linux, depending on how capture is called it
  is no longer returning a file path. I cannot find anywhere where this
  behavior is documented and therefore am reporting it as a bug. It
  seems to be returning a java object and making a java call.

  imagePath = SCREEN.capture()
  print imagePath
  imagePath = VNC.capture()
  print imagePath
  imagePath = capture(VNC) #FYI - local screen captured
  print imagePath
  exit(0)

  Actual:
  CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.8

  Expected:
  shutil.move(vnc.capture(), FULL_PATH) #from tmp

  Work around:
  img = vnc.capture().saveInBundle("temp")
  shutil.move(img, FULL_PATH) #from bundle
