Title: print properties button/menu problems
Post by: wayneg1035 on October 10, 2012, 06:59:26 PM
The print properties floating box disappears when you try to control-a (select all) pictures in queue. Then if you hit the button to bring it back, it unselects the pictures in the queue. So there is no quick way to drop a bunch of pictures in the queue and then select all and pick a size/border for them all.  You used to be able to do this in the old qimage.   I just wish there was a way to dock the print properties to always be there, I use it a lot and it seems like a waste of clicking to have to keep bringing it to view.

Which version of Qimage are you using?

If it's an older Studio, the control is in the VIEW drop down menu, under BEHAVIOR OF CLOSED PANELS
Set that to manual, and then you click on the Job property bar to open or close it manually.

See screen snaps...
Let us know

PS I assume you are running Studio  or earlier even though you posted in Ultimate. Ultimate doesn't have a property box that comes and goes.

If you are using Qimage Ultimate -
I'm not sure which "button" you are referring to.

Yes there is. After you have selected the images in the queue, right click over the page preview an hold for a couple of seconds. This will bring the floating print properties box into view.

If you really do have Ultimate,  There's an A+ button at teh top of the screen.
Click that to select ALL, and then drag one image into the queue. They all will go if they are all selected.

Yeah I have ultimate, your suggestion about hovering over while right clicking works.  The print properties dialog comes up and doesn't de-select the photos as does clicking the button shown below that also brings up the print properties.  Thanks I am happy again.

That is the "standard" way to open & close the Print Properties box  ;)
