Hi Deron:
I haven't been keeping up on the bugs reported on the list
lately, so I apologize if I repeat an already reported bug.
- Prefs:
When setting 'folder' paths the last folder name is dropped.
E.g. I select C:\my documents\PageStream\Documents\backup,
which also shows in the browser requester.
What goes into Prefs is -
C:\my documents\PageStream\Documents\
The same problem exists on the 'General' page in 'saving
backups'
- Zoom >299:
The display doesn't render properly at zoom of 300 and above.
One page I am working on has only line objects. The lines
all disappear and all that shows are the two sizing handles
for the object that was selected.
On another page with box and line objects, the box object
seemed the right size but changed colour (originally Cyan
became black) and lines appeared as strangely shapped filled
objects.
- Line/fill requester:
doesn't show line and fill colours correctly.
- The Rotate requester doesn't show horzontal flips
correctly. The function works properly but show incorrectly
in the requester window.
- Flipping pages doesn't fill the window properly:
I have a document with several pages. The first page fills
the window. When the document is switched to page 2 there is
still a strip about 1/16th inch wide of page 1 left along
the bottom of the window just above the horizontal scroll bars.
If PgS is minimized and then maximized the window fills
properly. With further testing this problem only exists
after the window has been minimized and the fault occurs
that is described below.
- If PgS is minimized, when it is then maximized the
document window is moved up and placed over the tool bar. If
the commands to 'Hide the tool bar', followed by 'Show the
toolbar' are performed, everything is returned to the proper
place.
I see that sometimes the tool bar is visible and then the
header bar of the document window is hidden by the tool bar.
- Layer Palette:
In normal operation, as you switch from page to page the
base page layer is always active. But if, for instance, you
had been working on page 1 and one of the layers was active,
then you switch to page 2, there is no layer active (or
maybe the layer of page 1 is still active).
and nothing can be done on the page 2 until you click in the
margin of the page layer (or some other layer). I think it
should automatically make the base page layer active when
switching to a new page.
PgS 4 also works the same way.
- Transform in layer:
I was working in a layer, selected several box objects and
attempted to make one copy using Transform, with zero
offsets. PgS crashes with fatal error in PAGESTREAMPRO5.EXE.
The intent was that once I had the copies, all selected, I
could move them to the base page using the Move to Page
command. I then tried selecting one object and transforming
with default offset, PgS crashes every time.
I tried this in PgS 4, the transform works. The only problem
is that the new copies are not left selected at the end of
the Transform action.
- PgS seems to get old, much the same as I do, after a while
some things don't work properly. I had 2 faults in the
function of layers written up, which aren't there now that
I've rebooted PgS.
That's it for now.
