If I launch dosbox normally, mount my drives, scroll to my game and start it, ctrl-f5 works great.

if however, I launch dosbox from a batch file
ex:
"..\Program Files\DOSBox-0.70\dosbox.exe" ".\play\Nil Soccer\1-0.EXE" -conf ".\conf\dosbox.conf" -noconsole -exit -fullscreen

Everything boots up just fine, but pressing ctrl-f5 does not generate a screenshot. Ctrl-F1 brings up the keymapper, and ctrl-f4 swaps images and such... but ctrl-f5 is a no go.

Any enlightenment to be found on this?

screenshots are dumped into a "capture" directory. Probably can't find the capture directory. You can try creating one in the game dir.

No, i can find it just fine.

As I said, when I run dosbox normally, I can get the captures just fine. I can even watch them appear in the directory.

When I run it with the above command line though, nothing appears in the directory.

I even did a PC wide png search before I came and posted here.

Anyone else?

ah, I understand. I misread the original post, apologies. I'll try that.

Thank you both.
