Theoretically yes... whether or not it actually works or not is another matter

My Nostromo can handle macros, so I'm gonna give it a try. Will report back. Can anyone point me at macro information for SoR? (Creating a macro within the game?)
Thanks!

hit Shift+k to bring up the macro window
What you're looking for should be:
View -> Show/hide the interface
System -> Screenshot JPG (or just 'Screenshot' if you want .tga's)
View -> Show/hide the interface
Then bind it to a key and you're done. You might have to bind it to something like shift+alt+ctrl+whatever and then bind that to the nostromo outgame though.. I doubt SoR will recognise all of the inputs directly but haven't tried it so could be wrong

Thanks! I'll give it a try next time I'm playing.

Hmmm.
Work has been a bear so I've not had a chance to try the above.
But would someone be good enough to tell me where the Ryzom screenshots end up when using Shift/Control -F10? I've looked in the Ryzom folder and My documents, no joy.

in the root Ryzom folder, same place as the .exe
on a side note it's a bad place to put them, and when you have lots they cause massive lag when you take new pic's so best to move out on a regular basis.

Hey i have the NostromoN52 as well, your only like the 2nd person ive met that even knew what i would be talking about
*now to awnser your question*
I do belive there is a way to make a single macro in game to do all three. I know for a fact that with the Nostromo pad, you can program a button to do all 3. I would recomend putting a Delay between the Removal of interface and the taking of the screenshot. Ive found that some times the system doesnt remove them fast nuff before the screenshot kicks in and you still have the interface up.
*edit*
Here is how I have my Nostromo Macro set for strait Screen shots
Leftshift key press
F5 key press
F5 key Release
Leftshift Release
2 second delay
Leftshift key press
F10 key press
F10 key release
Leftshift key release
LeftCtrl key press
F10 key press
F10 key release
LeftCtrl key release
Leftshift key press
F5 key press
F5 key realease
Leftshift key release
That lets me do both TGA and JPG with one button.
