Title: Adding a page to the middle of a session
Post by: jmb on January 25, 2020, 08:49:05 PM
After saving several pages of images to a session, I realized that I forgot to put in some images.  Because the original images are in the session in a special order, I would like to insert a page with the new images in the middle of the session.  I can add the page to the end of the session, but I can't figure out how to put the page in the middle of the session. 

Am I missing something, or is the only option to add them to the end?

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this that will work - but first - how many pages are in your session and how many images per page (roughly)?

There are several ways to do this.  Since you cannot insert (blank) pages while in an automatic print placement mode, the most straighforward is:

(1) Under the live view, drop down the placement method (button) and select "Freehand".
(2) Go to the page where you want to insert a page and right click on the live view and select "Insert Page".
(3) You'll get a blank page: click/drag thumbnail(s) to the new blank page.

When done with the above, you can switch QU back to "IntelliCenter" or whatever automatic placement method you were using before.

Note: if order is important, be sure the print sorting button (under the live view) is not active so it doesn't try to sort prints by size.

Regards,
Mike

Thanks for the responses.  Right now there are 12 pages in the session, and average 4 or 5 images per page.

I will give Mike's suggestion a try.  It sounds like it is pretty straight forward.

Thanks.

It worked like a charm.  I can't believe how much time I had spent trying to do this - and it is really so simple.

Many thanks.

Much better than the Rube Goldberg thing I was going to suggest!!
