PageStream 5.0.4.17a ,good and bad 1

ASSEMBLED E-MAILS PART 1:

PAGESTREAM5.0.4.17A FOR WINDOWS REMARKS:

I MADE A CLEAN INSTALL FROM THE ZIP-FILE. I ADDED ADOBE PPD FROM VERSION
7 IN THE PRINTER FOLDER. I, AT LAST, COPIED THE PAGESTREAM5.INI FILE,
FROM PGS 5.0.4.4, INTO IT€™S CORRECT FOLDER.

IN PREFERENCES / DRAWINGS THERE IS AN ADJUSTMENTS WHICH ISN€™T FOUND IN
ANY RESOURCE FILES. MEANING: I CAN€™T TRANSLATE (LOCALIZE) IT.

DERON QUOTE:
A NEW NL TRANSLATION MAY NEED TO BE EXPORTED, BUT IT IS IN THE RESOURCE
FILE FOR SURE.
DERON UNQUOTE.
THEO REPLIES:
I DID A NEW RESOURCE (RSRCEXPORT TRUE) BUT I COULD NOT FIND IT, MEANING
WHEN I GOT THE NEW UPDATE I WAS ALREADY LOOKING WHERE I COULD ADD,
TEMPORARILY, THE RSRCEXPORT TRUE. BUT I FOUND IT, BUT NOT THAT
'ADJUSTMENTS'. SURE THERE IS A 'ADJUSTMENTS' IN THE RESOURCE, BUT NOT
THAT ONE.
STRING A#203 :AANPASSINGEN
#DEFAULT :ADJUSTMENTS
STILL IN PREFERENCES: ADJUSTMENTS.
THEO UNQUOTE.

IN REPORTS€¦ (LAYOUT / ) UNDER GRAPHICS USED ARE A LOT OF WHITE LINES.
BECAUSE THEY ARE REALLY INTERNAL AND HAVE NO NAME? HOW DO YOU EXPECT A
NAME IF THEY ARE INTERNAL, AND ALSO MADE OR CORRECTED INSIDE A DOCUMENT.
THIS, INTERNAL, GRAPHIC HAS NO NAME. RIGHT?

DERON, QUOTE:
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT FILES THAT WERE IMPORTED? EVERY FILE YOU IMPORT
HAD A NAME AT ONE TIME, AND PAGESTREAM SHOULD BE REMEMBERING THAT EVEN
IF IT IS NO LONGER USED BECAUSE IT IS INTERNAL. OF COURSE, A PDF OR
OTHER DOCUMENT WON'T HAVE THAT DATA, AND I SUPPOSE SOMETHING ELSE SHOULD
BE SHOWN INSTEAD OF A WHITE LINE (OR NOTHING AT ALL). DID THIS DOCUMENT
COME FROM SOMETHING BESIDES PAGESTREAM?

I'LL ADD AN <UNKNOWN FILE> STRING FOR THOSE THAT HAVE MISSING FILE NAMES.
DERON UNQUOTE.
THEO REPLIES:
SOME WERE IMPORTED IN THE DOCUMENT, WERE MAYBE EXTERN, AND THEN I WANTED
TO CHANGE SOMETHING, MADE THEM INTERNAL. AT THAT MOMENT PGS STILL KNOWS
THE NAME OF THE ILLUSTRATION. BUT WHEN YOU DISSOLVE THIS ILLUSTRATION
(DRAWING) THE NAME IS GONE.
THEO UNQUOTE.

ALREADY MENTIONED. THE COLOR NAME IN THE COLOR PALETTE BECOMES INVISIBLE
WHEN YOU CLICK ON A NAME.

IN THE PAGESTREAM FOLDER LOCALE ARE: ._PAGESTREAM5_NL.RSC,
._SOFTLOGIKAPP_NL.RSC AND ._SOFTLOGIKDISP_NL.RSC. THEY CAN BE DELETED!

IN C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS...SOME NAME€¦APPLICATION DATAPAGESTREAM5
ARE THE EMPTY FOLDERS BORDERS AND DICTIONARIES. €¦SOME NAME€¦ IS THE NAME
WHICH YOU ENTERED WINDOWS WHICH HAS MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT (PASSWORD OR
NOT).

DERON QUOTE:
FIRST, THE PREFERENCES FILE WAS MOVED TO THE WINDOWS "PREFERED"
LOCATION, WHICH VARIES BETWEEN VERSIONS OF WINDOWS. THIS IS SO
PAGESTREAM WILL BEHAVE BETTER ON MULTI-USER SYSTEMS. THE SIDE BENEFIT(?)
IS THAT IF YOU INSTALL MULTIPLE COPIES OF PAGESTREAM THAT THEY ALL WILL
FIND THE SAME PREF FILES.

ANY USER FILE WILL GO IN THAT PAGESTREAM FOLDER. COLORS, STYLES,
DICTIONARY ADDTIONS, ETC BUT THE PROGRAM WILL ALWAYS LOAD THE DEFAULTS
FROM THE PAGESTREAM FOLDER IF ONE DOES NOT EXIST IN THE USER PREF
FOLDER. I MAY HAVE NOT MOVED SOME OF THE DEFAULTS (LIKE SCRIPTS) TO THE
CORRECT LOCATION IN THE .17 RELEASE AND I'LL CHECK THAT FOR THE NEXT
RELEASE.

YES, THOSE ARE CREATED AUTOMATICALLY AND IF YOU CREATE A BORDER (WHICH
MOST USERS WOULD NOT) IT WILL BE WRITTEN TO THE BORDERS FOLDER. IF YOU
ADD A WORD TO THE HYPHENATION OR SPELLING, IT WILL GO IN THE
DICTIONARIES FOLDER. THE GOAL WAS TO MAKE THE PAGESTREAM FOLDER LOCKABLE
SO YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO RUN PAGESTREAM FROM A CD OR A SHARED
FOLDER ON A SERVER THAT YOU DON'T HAVE WRITE ACCESS TO ETC.

WHEN I WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN PAGESTREAM5.INI YOU, DERON, HAVE TO

OTHER SIDE: IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A DECENT FONT TO GIVE ALL THE CHARACTERS
IN PAGESTREAM NAVIGATOR ONE WISH TO ADD: DEFAULTFONTSPEC TAHOMA,15.

I MANAGED TO HAVE A NEW, BLANC, WINDOWS VERSION LAST YEAR. SOMEHOW (I

SLIGHTLY CHANGED.
THE DOCUMENT ON WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT 'DIDN'T KNOW' THE NEW FOUNDS.
PGS ASKS WHERE THE, EXTERNAL, GRAPHIC CAN BE FOUND, AND STARTS WITH
HOPING IT'S IN THE DOCUMENTS FOLDER. ALWAYS WRONG! THEN I ASK PGS TO
LOOK FOR A FOLDER HIGHER UP (PAGESTREAMS FOLDER) AND THEN I CAN CLICK ON
THE GRAPHICS FOLDER, AND GO DOWN THAT FOLDER(S) TO TELL PGS THE 'NEW'
FOUNDINGS.
AND THAT WAS A HIT AND MISS WITH PGS 5.0.4.17A.

PGS OPENS A REQUESTER IN DOCUMENTS FOLDER (LONG STANDING BUG, I THINK),

ENGLISH THOUGH, ONLY WHEN I CHANGED IT INTO BOLD THEN IT'S THE DUTCH VET

ONLY I NEED TO GO DOWN IN THE LIST FROM ARIAL TO TIMES, AND THIS TAKES
SOME TIME. OH, I COULD ALSO TAKE >>, FAST!
FONT SUBSTITUTION:
WELL NOW I KNOW THAT THE FAST WAY, THE >>-BUTTON, DOESN'T WORK. IN MY

Okay, there's a problem with the script in OSX. I'll have to check
this at home where I have access to Windows and linux to make sure I
don't break things for other platforms. But a quick hack to fix the
problem of not displaying holiday/event categories revealed that multi-
select doesn't appear to be working.

I do remember that there was something different about how the script
gets the data so I may have missed something. Still looking into this.

Deron, the problem is that the script's directory is added to sys.path
differently on OS X than linux or windows. For both Windows and Linux the
path ends with a directory divider (for Windows, "\&quot;, for linux "/&quot;). But
for OSX it lacks the trailing slash. It looks like in general the paths
should *not* have trailing slashes, but however it works it would be best if
all platforms exhibited the same behavior. Tested using:

OS X: 5.0.4.18
Windows: 5.0.4.17a
Linux: 5.0.3.4

Now, my script shouldn't have been trying to simply concatenate the paths
anyway -- the call is os.path.join(currentdir, restofpath) -- but I think PgS
matching behavior would likely be best.

Looking at the code I remember the situation now. I had written it to work,
but I had not been able to test it. I should have a fix shortly.

Hi Tim,

Ok. I'll take out the trailing path separator.

Ahem, the American/English locale version also opens with only Black and

The correct folder is the preferred folder.
