v2010.115     09/01/10     

Priority: Low     

v2010.115 offers more ways to open/close the Print Properties dialog when in manual mode.  Click the "?" button on the Print Properties dialog for details.

Wow, how many options can there be, something for everyone now:  ;D   8)
1 for the click auto-shift drivers.
1 for the gamers, a shake or 3
1 for the keyboard short-cut lovers
and 1 for the RMB specialists.

I like the RMB best, so easy, better than moving the window about, just make it go away & come
back as needed. Mouse shakin ain't bad either.

..and I see that I can open the property box using the Right Mouse button hold, and I can close it with a shake or a waggle, or vice versa.
Fred

Just please practice safe posting.  A little too much shaking and holding going on here lately.   ;D

Mike

Not my fault!
I just shake the pointer over my thumbs, and it pops up.
Thank goodness for the F11 key!
 ;D :( ;)

Hmmmm!

OK guys, I can 'see' none of these in 115

FWIW I use W2k Pro SP4 and my mouse is a 5 button MS Trackball Explorer with AFAIK up to date drivers etc.

Waggle over a selected thumbnail does nothing
F11 does nothing Edit - F11 does sort of work, if I hold it for a few seconds I get the Print Props but pressing it again does not dismiss it
Left click on the thumb gives me the Print Props 'box' as before.
RMB - hmm must be dense as I cannot see Print Props listed???

Oh, for the record QU115 takes an age to launch (seems like over 45 seconds) compared to 112 and lower?

:)

Sounds like you didn't go to EDIT PREFERENCES and change the properties box operation to Manual.
Then all those things will work.


No changes to anything at all other than the addition of 4 ways to open the property box and two bug fixes in the full Page Editor etc.
Check and see if you are running a virus scan or something else sharing your resources.
Fred

That may be a clue.  Try rebooting.  Sounds like your system is having problems.  Nothing changed in the startup sequence 112 to 115 so they should start in the same amount of time unless you are now defaulting to a directory with a gargantuan number of files or something.  Sounds like a reboot is in order anyway.

Mike

Ah! fair comment ref reboot, will do shortly and advise on queries posted above ;)

Mike

Update as promised.

Reboot = quick as usual launch :D

Now for the Homer Simpson moment ;) I tried again and still a case of why no worky!  Well, I was still in 'auto' mode i.e. I clicked the little blue ? and swichted to manual and what do you know F11 'ticked' , RMB long hold 'ticked' and waggle 'ticked'.

:)

See you have to listen to your uncle Freddie and your uncle Mikey!   :D ;D 8)
