Mike,

FYI, I am finding with Q Studio and the Canvas option mixed results with this issue:
Getting the initial Red border to be the total print size - length + 2 x border + 2 x wrap & width + 2 x border + 2 x wrap.

a. No image on the page, in the queue.
To get the Red border, print area, to be the initial correct size I need to set the canvas size to be the total print size - image + each border + each wrap.
length + 2 x border + 2 x wrap & width + 2 x border + 2 x wrap.

b. Image already on the page, in the queue. I have to reset the Canvas size to the image size.
The initial Red border is then correctly shown as the total print size.

c. Other times I need to bounce back and forth a couple of times between A & B to get the Red border to be the total print size.

For the final printing the queue shows:
a. Red border is the true canvas size, size to the print the image;
b. There is a cross hatched border for the mirror;
c. There is a dotted line for the wrap.

Border type selection is not fully implemented in the full page editor - seems to conflict with page border settings. e.g. if set to mirror in page border settings, then set to solid in fpe, only way to change border seems to clear them (only available in page editor) and try again....

Hi Terry,

This is with latest version 2010.206.

set a page size of, say,  A3.
set an image size of 5 x 4. make sure both borders are set to zero.
drop in your image. Select it.

set borders to B+, then go to border 1 and type a 1 in front of the 0.00. Image resizes (distorts on the page preview) and 3x2 appears in image (indicating 6 sheets are required). Now, correct the mistake - go to border 1 again, and delete the '0' before the decimal point, to give a border of +1. The image shrinks down, to roughly 2.7 by 2.1.  (If I now try to reset the border 1 to 10.00 but now a warning message pops up this time), but I know of no simple way to restore the image to it's original 5 x 4 size, other than setting another size, and then 5 x 4, or by clearing it from queue, and reloading the image again.

The problem I mentioned re resizing while entering the data still applies. It is normal for calculations to take place when data entry is completed, usually signalled by tabbing out of the data entry field, or using the enter/return key, or by otherwise moving the cursor from the field. This is because it is quite usual when entering data to enter a new value in the field, and then delete the old, which is often impossible to do here. e.g. a border of 1.75 inches, and you want to change it to 2.75 inches - you can't enter the 2 (21.75) then delete the 1, without it trying to set a border of 21.75. Of course, it then messes up in a similar fashion as outlined above. (I'm glad banking software does not behave like this - or maybe that was the problem   )

There are still missing border settings in the full page editor, and afaik my previous comments still apply.

Best wishes,

Ray

Hi Terry,


It is a real problem if it goes above a single page size. For data entry it is normal for software to wait patiently for the 'enter' key to be pressed. However, if it is a slider entry, then it is normal for the effect to be immediate, as the slider is moved, but then it is annoying if there is a delay between moving the slider and a noticeable effect.

Thanks for testing it out, sometimes I think I imagine things, since not always easy to remember the steps taken to get it all jammed up.

Best wishes,

Ray
