Is there a way to save a picture of the DOM to file like I can with any chart via "Save Chart to File"? Using Windows PrintScreen function is tedious.

Thank you.

You can create a Keyboard Shortcut or Control Bar button to take an image, then just have the Trading DOM as the selected chart when you activate the option. Refer to the following:
Global Settings Menu: Customize Control Bars >> Control Bar 1-12 (Global Settings menu)

We will make sure this command is added to the Trading DOM menu.

Hi,
I want to write down what I see on the graph

I am using the Edit>Screen Images>Save Chart to File option.

And such a saved file has, for example, a name
6BH24-CME [CBV][M] 15 Min #1 2024-03-04 00_07_36.165

Is it possible for me to be the one to define how these files should be named?
it is very important for me and it would make my work easier if I could define how these files should be named e.g..
6BH24-CME [CBV][M] 15 Min and the date and time of the last candle I see on the chart (the date and time of saving the image - as it is now - is useless information for me).

Ideally, I would like to have such a tool " save chart to file" which I could configure like other tools using Cfg 1, Cfg 2. ( so that, for example, instead of the name of the 6BH24-CME contract, I could use my own name - as I named my chart - to the saved files).

Thank you for meeting my expectations
kind regards

You can do this with this ACSIL using this function:
sc.SaveChartImageToFileExtended()

You can use a Control Bar button to invoke the action:

Thank you sincerely for your quick response....

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the software.... And I am afraid that I might mess something up. Also my English is not good enough to do according to the links you sent me

Can I ask for the exact instructions so that when I press "save chart to file" (or the analogous button that saves screen images), I save the chart in a file with the following content
"chart name"_"date"_"time".

The date and time (no seconds - just hour and minute) refer to the last candle of the chart I want to save (that is, the candle located on the right edge of the chart).

There is not a way to do what you are asking from the built-in tools. The only option, as noted previously, is to create a custom study that does what you want.

You can always find a programmer that can do this for you. Refer to the following:
