"Over the road" someone asked:

Does anybody know how to make a snapshot of a screen on another monitor than my main monitor.

Which I answered.

Macintosh users need to bear in mind the IDE dumps snapshots inside the Application bundle (daft!).

Macintosh users need to bear in mind the IDE dumps snapshots inside the Application bundle (daft!).

That's only because that's probably your defaultFolder.
Try setting the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("Desktop")

Here's an adjusted version I put together.
Thing is, you can't necessarily assume physical screen placement (I know of 2 people who have 3 screens) and their main screen is in the middle. My version will save snapshots of the primary display, then all the others with a number:

example:
snapshot-display-primary.png, snapshot-display-2.png, snapshot-display-3.png (and so on)
