Title: A couple of feature requests Post by: MrPunch on November 08, 2018, 02:36:29 PM 1) It would be incredibly useful to be able to use scaling percentages in the Custom Print Size bit.
2) Is there a way to change the default location Qimage goes to for color profiles? I keep mine on a networked server and it's a time-consuming slog to get to the relevant folder to add a new profile. I realise I'm in a tiny minority who'd find this useful, but I can't see any editable .ini files. Thanks Title: Re: A couple of feature requests Post by: admin on November 08, 2018, 02:58:19 PM #2 should be easy enough. Regarding #1, can you give an example of how (and why) you would use it? Are you talking about entering a number like +10% or -10% to scale an existing print on the page? I'm trying to figure out under what circumstances that would be useful so I can see how such a feature would be implemented.

The boys can sort you out with the second request I am sure. I prepare pages for printing on one PC and do the actual print on a second one. I'll let the gurus explain when they spot your message. I'm saving 'sessions' but I am pretty sure you can save all the profiles. What I'm doing is to keep all my QU work on an external HDD which I carry from one location to another. Over to the professors. Oh - I see Mike has already spotted you.... Tony Title: Re: A couple of feature requests Post by: MrPunch on November 09, 2018, 11:28:56 AM #2 should be easy enough.

I'm trying to figure out under what circumstances that would be useful so I can see how such a feature would be implemented. I'm working in a commercial environment so we print a lot of stuff that gets thrown at us by customers. A typical scenario would be a request for A5 prints from a file sized at A4 or A3, and we knoiw that we just have to enter 70.7% or 50% to get the right size. Another would be where we have a customer's file set up to print at a specific size, but they decide they want it 'half as big again' (so 150%). Regards, Mike So it's the absolute percentage that I'd find useful, not (e.g.) '10% reduction' (I'd put in 90% for that). It is sometimes useful to be able to enter different % for width and height, for example if we have an image that needs to fit a 20"x16" frame, is 20x15.5 and won't stand cropping, but can be stretched slightly. Having recently bought the Photoshop plugin I can do this kind of thing much faster now, but if I had, say, 20 images that all need the same % change it could get tedious.

That is the QU way; in my view messing with percentages, like you may have to do in other software, is prone to error and it's far more logical to set dimensions in Ins or mm. Terry |
