Exciting liveloop hotfixes in Jamstix 2.0.19-RC11, thanks!

Just noticed that when I click anywhere on the background image that has no function assigned, I get a 'Cannot create file e:/screenshot.jpg' pop-up message.

PS: I have SkinRefresh turned on.

That is a screenshot function that should have been disabled. Sorry about that...
