Now normally if I start<br>
image_view manually and click on the window it will save frames to the<br>
current directory. But it seems like if it&#39;s started in a launch file,<br>
the image isn&#39;t saved anywhere.<br></blockquote><div><br>It should be saved to $ROS_ROOT.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

So my question is, is there any quick way to specify a specific<br>
directory (that I have write access to) to image_view when it is<br>
started via a launch file?<br></blockquote></div><br>Yes, you can set the ~filename_format parameter prefixed with an absolute path. From the command line:<br><br>$ image_view image:=my_image_topic _filename_format:=/my_absolute_path/frame%04i.jpg<br>
<br>You can also use that parameter to change the naming and image format. All the parameters are documented at <a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/image_view#image_view-1">http://www.ros.org/wiki/image_view#image_view-1</a>.<br>
