RE: [Digital BW] For Stephen Billiard-Behavior mod/feature requests for QTR/GUI

2004-12-26 by Stephen Billard

The bit with the Preset Name going away has to do with changing margins or
such. I am changing it so that the only thing that will make the name go
away is changing ink type settings.

As for multiple prints per page, That change would require QuadToneRIP and
QTRgui to both change. It would be a pretty extensive change. Have you
investigated Qimage? (www.ddisoftware.com) Most people with a need for page
management on the PC use Qimage. It really does not make since to try to
duplicate its features since you can easily co-ordinate Qimage and QTRgui.
Just set QTRgui to monitor a folder and Qimage to print to a file in that
monitored folder.
