Are you talking about the number that is part of the file name?

Hi, is there an easy way of finding an image number, so like in lightroom you can just type a number and the image appears, I sometimes have 10000 images in one folder and this would make it easy to process

thanks

When installing on a new computer, just refer to the most recent registration/download email that you received.  Follow the instructions in that email to download the most recent version and install on the new computer using those instructions.  Once installed, you can also transfer your old setups and saved jobs.  Use "Utilities", "Migrate/Copy Qimage Application Data" from the menu.  Using that option, you can copy all the saved information from one location to another (to a temporary disk and then to the new computer, through the network to the new computer, etc.).  If you'd like to do the data move operation manually, you can use "Utilities", "Explore Qimage Application Data" and that will take you to the location of the Qimage data files.  Simply copy all files/folders from that location to the same location on the new computer and you're ready to go.

Regards,
Mike

Hi
Best strategy for this ?
As of now installed Q_ult on the new drive. works OK, but is missing my ICC's and jobs.
Compared to the win10 installation now no ddisoftware Dir in ProgramData.
The data on win10 is now seen in win11 Pro under user/nk/AppData/Local/Roaming/ddisoftware/Qimage_U

Tried different copy paste but this doesn't work
Fx ICC's made not there anymore, the old job list neither nor earlier additions to different seizes of print etc. (3 dayes of trying now Smiley)
Best
Niels

Then you are not doing what I asked.  I can't see what you are doing now (what you claim moves the print to page 2) and I can only go off what you showed in your first screencast because that's all we have.  As I said in reply to your screencast, at the point just after you open your Pro-2100 job (and before you switch to print-to-file), turn off Freehand placement mode by clicking the hand button below the live view.  Then switch you print-to-file and specify your 18x24 page size and everything will work fine.  Unlocking that freehand mode from your Pro-2100 job before you do anything will correct the problem you caused by using a job that contains a freehand page where prints are locked to an absolute position.

Or, instead of opening a job designed for the Pro-2100, just set up your 18x24 print-to-file page first and simply add an 18x24 size print of the image you want and add the border/mat afterward.  Either way will work.

Ok started from scratch

1. Brought in an image which is 18x24
2. Then added a matt which overall is 18x24 but the image itself is 15.33X22.00 so far so good
3. Then I turned off freehand button and the image is gone and it moves to page 2?


All I want to do is print to file including the matt and image as 1 file.

Thanks.  Now I can see.  You are loading a job for the Pro-2100 printer which has its own parameters for that printer.  You are then trying to adapt that job to print-to-file and some things aren't translating between Pro-2100 and your print-to-file setup.  The main problem here is that you are going from a 19.763 x 29.763 page size (from your Pro-2100 job you are loading) down to an 18 x 24 page size and you have Freehand page turned on in that job you loaded!  Notice where your print is located on the page before you go to print-to-file: your print spans from the 1 inch mark to the 19 inch mark (and there is no 19 inch mark on your 18 x 24 page).  Qimage isn't allowed to move the print because the page is in freehand mode, so the right side is off the page.

To correct, before you switch to print-to-file mode, click the little hand button on the lower left of your sreencast to turn Freehand page off.  That will allow Qimage to move the print as necessary to conform to your smaller 18 x 24 page size.

Or... if you want the printed page to look exactly like your Pro-2100 page, at 38 seconds in your video, click the printer button on the top right of the print-to-file dialog.  That will set up the print-to-file page size the same as the current page size (which in your case is 19.763 x 29.763).  Then your print-to-file page size will be the same as what is currently in place from your Pro-2100 job and there will be no scaling or moving necessary.

This shows the steps

1. Recall Job showing the full image of 18x24 and mat border.
2. Go to Print to File where the size is correct
3. Once I click ok the image moves to the right cutting off the edge.

This is kind of all over the place.  I can't really tell what is going on.  First I have one small corner of the live view showing where something looks cut off, but I have no context: the rest of the screen showing important parameters is missing.  Then I have the print to file setup showing 18x24 page size.  And finally a screen shot showing a 19.7 x 29 page size?  Where did that come from?  Where did you get a 19+ x 29+ page size?  Basically I have no idea of your sequence and how you got to these results.

If you set up your print to file page size as 18x24 and you add a print at 18x24 (or smaller), there will be nothing cut off.  If you add your border afterward, just make sure you don't use a B+ border which will expand the print size.

For me to see what is going on, I need a sequence showing what you are doing and I have to see the whole screen so I can see how it is set up.  If the forum image size limitation is stopping you, just upload them to Google Drive or something and give a link.  What would be even better is a screen recording/screen cast showing what you are doing in video form, but if you can't do that, I at least need to see the screen shot of the whole Qimage window where the border is getting cut off.

Bottom line: for anything to get cut off, either you've done something to make your print size bigger than 18x24... or your page size is smaller than 18x24.
