Thanks again for your replies Fred.

In Q1 (Mac) I set up the printing options in right side of Q1. I then check  that the settings presented by the Properties button are correct. Back in Q1 window I "Save Printer Settings". Seems that all printing parameters are saved (or retrieved) except Media Size.

Mac 10.13.2, Canon Pro-1000 (driver v18.10.0.0).

Peter,
Perhaps, I misunderstood. The last screen snap, 041 is showing you saved sizes of paper.
Two entries of HP glossy, one saved at 8.5 x 11 and the other saved at A3 size paper.
What specifically are you trying to save that you believe is missing?

Peter,
As I mentioned, my setups save and recall are the same as QU always did. That includes everything... regarding the printer.... Driver setup, paper type, size, profile, etc
But there is the possibility that my Q1 for PC works, but maybe not in a Mac itself.  So I asked Mike.
He said it all works, but maybe there is something that you specifically wanted, that isn't included in the save... (missed)
Please specify what you are missing and what you do before and during the SAVE

Thanks for your reply Fred.

So paper (media) size is not included with the saved printer settings (setups) on Mac Q1. Okay.

Regarding TIFF loading: The COP (on Mac) sourced TIFF is what I routinely print using QU (Windows). The Mac version of Q1 will load and print the TIFF from within the application but not when it's sent to Q1 by COP.

Because I use different operating systems for running COP and QU I haven't tried automatically transferring between COP and QU

2/ In the "Save/Load Printer Settings" are media sizes supposed to be saved and loaded? Doesn't work for me however I realize media size may not be included by design.
Hi Peter.
The save load settings are there for printer setups.
See screen snaps.
Located over on the right side, middle of top to bottom.

The TIF problem has to be looked at by Mike.  
Question. Does this procedure work if you use Qimage Ultimate?

The easiest and fastest way for Mike to see the issue and fix it would be to have the image itself; the Tiff that causes the "Cannot Open" message.
So you can send to me via We Transfer (assuming larger than email size) to wathree.ssz@verizon.net. I will see that he gets it immediately.
Or you can send directly to Mike at his usual address.  mchaney@ddisoftware .com

Hello.

Mac 10.13.2 and Q1 v101

Two queries:

1/ I have been attempting to send a TIFF to Q1 from Capture One Pro (no plugins). I use the same procedure as works sending to Gimp and the Nik Collection (and others). COP creates a TIFF from the RAW and then sends it to the nominated application. Q1 loads, then a notice is presented: "The document Test.tif could nor be opened. Qimage One cannot open files in the "TIFF image" format. Needless to say, the file loads manually from within Q1. Would be handy since COP has a well established and large user base.

2/ In the "Save/Load Printer Settings" are media sizes supposed to be saved and loaded? Doesn't work for me however I realize media size may not be included by design.

Thanks.

Hello Mike

I'm continuing experimenting with QImage One.

Using the same Prism derived printer/paper colour profile as for QImage Ultimate, I find that there is a slight colour difference compared with QIU. This appears to be particularly at the white end of the greyscale and the intensity of red. I'm puzzled as to why this should be.

To resolve this, I would like to know what setting in QImage One is required so that I can print the Prism standard colour chart.

Thank you.

Regards

Peter

Congratulations Mike.

A very welcome software for Mac users.

Have purchased and am looking forward to using it.

Where will the user's forum be located?

Regards

Peter


Qimage One was released yesterday (1-11) for both Mac and PC!  Please visit the web page for info:

Any update of progress?

Merely curious!

I was pleasantly surprised to read on the Luminous Landscape Forum that you are developing a Mac version of QImage. Is that true?

Peter, this a paste from an email whichI assumed was sent to everyone???.


"Mac news: we are now actively working on a version of Qimage for the Mac.  We plan to have something available for the Mac by fall 2017.  Please stay tuned for further developments."

Hello all.

I'm for retaining the queue tab with it's functionality.

I use it frequently for an overview of the parameters of images in the queue.

Less often for replacing certain images in a large multi-page multi-image per page print job. Incidently the thumbnail drag onto a queue item seems to be more responsive now.

Please keep it!

Peter
39  Mike's Software / Qimage Ultimate / Re: Mac version on: June 14, 2017, 11:42:00 PM
That's good news Mike. Thanks for the further information.

This should quell us moaning Mac users!

Incidently, I tested a Mac RIP recently and compared output with QIU. The test wasn't comprehensive however the latter was noticably better in definition!

Thanks Fred.

Haven't received such an email. I'll check the server spam folder.

Thanks very much Fred. You are right, the "flip/flop" function is good.

I had viewed both of Mike's 2018.100 introductory videos before posting.

For my use, I don't need to see high detail in the thumbnails because 99% of the time I printing from a folder containing TIFFs that were exported soley for printing from my primary processing software. Hence I don't need to distinguish similar images and prefer to see more thumbnails at a time. I think I previously had the size set to "medium" and with 2018.100 I set to "small"  in an attempt to get the preferred thumbnail size.

Update: I now see what was happening. The thumbnail size changes slightly with position of the divider. I can get my preferred thumbnail size by adjusting the divider position.

I've had a cursory look at the new interface and I can see it's improved functionality.

One thing I've noticed is that the thumbnails appear to be larger, and now even the "small" size setting is larger than preferred for the new layout on my screens.  

Cheers and thanks.

I made a quickie video of what I see and what I get..  
For my old eyes.... manna from heaven

Congratulations on the 20 years Mike. You have a lot to be proud of with your excellent software and support. I'm sure, like me, many hundreds (thousands) of Qimage users are grateful for your making top quality printing software affordable.

Hello Mike.

Yes, back circa January with 115 that's when the troubles began on my Canon Pro-1000. I asked questions on the forum about QIU setup and then spool sizes and behaviour. Checked RAM use.

Finally decided it must be to do with my Windows 10 setup, hence no further questions on the forum.

Later the network connection (wired and wifi) was indentified as being unreliable. I think I've finally fixed that by manually setting the printer port in the printer setup.

A few days ago, possibly with 125, I was printing A4 sheets of 10 business cards and got incomplete pages.

The problem has been frequent enough for me to look upon each printing operation as a "lucky dip".

Printing from my Mac is faultless but, of course, the final product is not to QIU standard.

I now realise that the problem you fixed with 126 was 125 only.

I'll test print a high resolution A2 later this evening using 126 and report back.

Regards

Peter

UPDATE: Printed a full A2 via a 1.4GB spool and everything worked perfectly.
 

The only version that had a problem was 2017.125: previous versions were fine.  I didn't realize you were having a problem.  Only time I saw you mention anything was when you mentioned that the "overdrive" option produced 4x the spooler data and I pointed out that was to be expected when you double the PPI.

Regards,
Mike
