RE: [Digital BW] Re: Linux/XP File Recognition

2004-04-23 by Roger L Sopher

Thanks Roger!  Good information.  I now have some options.  I'd like
  to get Linux to recognize a new vfat partitions which I'll create
  with Partition Magic.  Failing that I could go the flash memory
  route.  I guess I could also burn a CD in XP and open it in Linux.
  I'll have to play around.

  Thanks again,

  Tom


   Tom,

  I've gone all of these routes. If you are going to work from a dual boot
system I would seriously consider setting up the fat32 partition in XP and
then reloading Linux and including that partition as a vfat partition called
something like /photo. In the long run it will be the simplest way around
the editing/printing problem with QTR. I have a separate linux box as well
as an old beige mac (bought on ebay for $100.00) that I use for printing
with QTR. I use both the USB flash memory route as well as a shared
partition. Eventually I am going to bag the PC and get a more capable mac,
get a platform transfer of photoshop from adobe and quit fighting this.

  My Linux box runs circles around the mac in speed but it is an idiot
savant printing system lacking much of the software I routinely use. On the
other hand it is a superb print engine.

  No perfect answer yet but I think you will like what you can do with Linux
and QTR even if the workflow is a bit cumbersome.

  Roger
