Summary:

Trying to use the iOS Simulator's "Save Screen Shot" function results in nothing happening. This occurs for me on both of my Macs running 10.7.3 and the latest iOS Simulator 5.1 (272.21).

Steps to Reproduce:

Run iOS Simulator (Springboard or any app)
Select "File"
Select "Save Screen Shot" (or hit Command+S)

Expected Results:

I expect a screen shot is saved somewhere, to my Desktop or to ~/Pictures or ~/Documents

Actual Results:

No screenshot is saved in any location that I can find, and the following message is written to the Console:

3/14/12 3:09:11.973 PM iPhone Simulator: Failed to write screenshot (The file “12 3.09.11 PM.png” doesn’t exist.)

Regression:

Been happening to me since the feature was introduced, just forgot to file a radar on it.

Notes:

None at this time.
