I have a well-used stylesheet which I know to be satisfactory. It consists of a set of 14 frames set out for standard laser labels, linked in order and forming an autolink series. I now have a CSV file of some 100 lines, with 5 fields per line. I need to mailmerge fields 1 and 5 only from each line on to successive labels. I put the tags [merge 1] and [merge 5] into the top left label and dragged the CSV file into the slot provided on the mailmerge dialogue box. All seems well at this point, but the results are erratic, with some blank pages and some with just one correct label top-left, and even one with the same label in 3 positions. I'm using version 2.52, which seems to have a more complex dialogue box than that shown in the manual. Does it matter that the CSV file does not in fact have "" around each text item?

I put the tags [merge 1] and [merge 5] into the top left label and The trouble with this, is it doesn't sound as if it would work anyway. There are two techniques commonly used. One is to take the CSV file and turn it into a text file with the data from records separated by new frame codes, and pour it into a document like the one described above. This gets you the result you want, but doesn't involve mail merge. Plan B is described in the document on advanced mail merge techniques on my web site, here *all* the frames have mail merge tags in, and all but one have a field set up to skip a record. But you don't mention doing anything like this. >I'm using version 2.52 You can get 2.56 from the web site. >Does it matter that the CSV file does not in fact have "" around each >text item?

The files grew at each stage - OPro 81K, PS 797K, PDF 1.3M I haven't tried the command line of Ghostscript much, but what I have tried failed when GView displayed the file.

The files grew at each stage - OPro 81K, PS 797K, PDF 1.3M I'm surprised about the last stage. A PDF file is usually significantly smaller than the PS file used to generate it - sometimes ten times smaller. If you do not have EFF's 'Publisher' version of LondonA font (i.e. the Postscript Type 1) then the font will be embedded as a Type 3 which I believe takes up much more filespace (I think its basically a hi res bitmap version of the font).

I see, independent thinkers need not apply for this qualification. Interesting that using MS products is almost a requirement these days for certain educational standards, or at least it appears that way. I think the better way is the one outlined in the mail merge document on the web site. But OTOH Bernard Veasy has a small program that will do the transformation from CSV format for you. So, to pass the exam, how do I have to solve the problem?

There is a definite feeling that while superficially flashy presentations have increased in the last 2 or 3 years the level of underlying understanding has fallen considerably, directly paralleling the rise of Windows in schools. A few erstwhile Acorn places known to me have jumped ship, or more likely been forced to, and all now deeply regret it. MS is lovely for 'edutainment', but it's interesting how quickly the users can get the machine to supply the right answer, while the question bypasses the brain altogether. O-Pro is a superb, fast, efficient and instinctive piece of software provided you can read and understand long, hard words like 'leading'. It has proved this year to be far more effective at DTP-type coursework than Word. In fact at moderation meetings others have been quite sniffy about the *precision* of our work and the ease with which it was produced. I say this is not an office and we are not in the business of producing hordes of little typists. The boards are actually at great pains to avoid bias of any kind and it will interest readers here that the Chief Examiner in IT for the AQA board is a RiscOS man. I quote: 'the software can come from outer space so long as it works and you explain what you are doing'. A rather different view from the common perception, perhaps. Our results are as good as anywhere and there's not a PC in sight, other than a handful of private portables which are a confounded nuisance and have a breakage rate of 50% p.a. > > I think the better way is the one outlined in the mail merge document > on the web site.

In truth, I have one of my own writing, but it makes things just that bit too simple- after all, if there's nothing to do, there's no write-up and hence no marks! No, in this case I'm going to put the CSV file into Fireworkz, delete columns 2 3 and 4, save as text, use !Edit to change 0A to 0C, 09 to OA (they're supposed to know all about ASCII) and drop it into OPro- and argue the toss later if need be, but somehow I don't think I shall have to:-) > > So, to pass the exam, how do I have to solve the problem? Well, depends how long you want to spend on it. Try taking the CSV file into DataPower, and setting up a multi-card report... Sorry, this seems to be leading into an altogether different discussion group. I need a drink.

My predecessor encouraged the use of MS stuff in an effort to discredit the RiscPCs. He failed to achieve this. What has happened is that there are a lot of PCs at home abandoned to games and perhaps a bit of basic word processing, while the real work is done at school on the RiscPCs. We are perhaps fortunate in having enough fully developed new SA machines to satisfy demand. If anyone wants to quote a highly successful nil-PC site, do contact me. Just a p.s. to wind this up- I shall not in fact use the rather convoluted method I mentioned yesterday. Thanks to David for mentioning Bernard Veasey's !CSVEdit, to Roger King for detailing its advantages and of course to Bernard for writing it. It is far superior to my own poor effort and that's what we are all going to use.

I *thought* the original problem was that I have a document which requires Frutiger.Black, that I have a font with the local name Frutiger.Black, but that OPro, in it's infinite wisdom, decides that what I really want is Trinity.SomethingLessThanBlack.

Any documented created or edited in 2.57 cannot be loaded into older versions of the program. There's no big change in file format, I've simply increased the file compatability level from 1 to 2 (byte no. 88 in the file if anyone wants to change it back). Strictly speaking this should have been done when new features like proxy pictures came in. I didn't enforce those because they are not easy to use by accident. One new feature in 2.57 is easy to use without realising - individual leaders for tabs. The point is though that once you've used 2.57 on your documents you'll not be able to use them on older versions or pass them on to others who don't have 2.57. Second there are lots of new features and bug fixes, it may well be that some of them cause serious problems, and of course you can't go back to 2.56. So this version is a test run, only brave pioneers should get involved in trying it. 2.57 needs a new colour supplement and a new fill applet, and both these are in the upgrade archive. The archive will only upgrade 2.52 to 2.57. If this version is OK, the other variants will follow shortly. New features include *Multiple clip boards *Copy and Paste chapters *Individual leader strings and decimal tab characters for tabs *Set screen for fills *Enhancements to the text base line grid *Support for Impression style cross hairs when dragging *Save user defined styles as text *Extended button macros *Numerous bug fixes, including the one that leads to corrupt dictionaries.

Perhaps i can reciprocate by saying that everything now works fine with the latest version (1.01) of Newframe from the OvPro Resources site at http://www1.che.hw.ac.uk/~ovpro/applets.html Hope that helps, Ian -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Fri Feb 4 15:45:09 2000 Received: from punt-11.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA117922 for opro ; Fri, 04 Feb 100 15:45:07 GMT Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 949678441:10:08118:46; Fri, 04 Feb 2000 15:34:01 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa1129974; 4 Feb 2000 15:31 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA16544 for ovationpro-list; Fri, 4 Feb 2000 14:56:51 GMT Received: from finch-post-11.mail.demon.net (finch-post-11.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.39]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA16539 for ; Fri, 4 Feb 2000 14:56:49 GMT Received: from pilling.demon.co.uk ([158.152.9.39]) by finch-post-11.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.12 #1) id 12GkAC-000Kfz-0B for ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk; Fri, 4 Feb 2000 14:56:48 +0000 Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2000 13:52:44 GMT Message-Id: <117899@pilling.demon.co.uk> From:(David Pilling) To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Subject: Re: OvationPro 2.57 X-Mailer: ArcBM 1.11 Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro >> OK, i have installed this over over 2.52 and I have remembered to drag the >> OvPro app with force on.

Older versions of OPro just allowed it to poke random bits of memory, which would only sometimes result in a fatal crash. 2.57 traps the illegal attempts - hence the error message. A new version of the applet is available from the support site.

Saving as DDL and reloading will probably do this as long as no new features are used. And you could soon hack out the new bits with a text editor.

The NewDocs.New257 file gives you some macros for using them. After that its really up to you to decide how you'd like them to work. I suspect that most naive users can ignore them, power editors may find them useful. I'll give an example of a problem I had at Christmas - I needed to copy the text from 24 small frames into a text story. So I set up a key macro which selected all the text in the current story, copied it to a clip board and stepped to the next clip board. That meant I could just click to position the caret and press the key 24 times. I then set up another macro to paste and step clipboard. Position the caret in the destination, and execute that macro 24 times and the job was done. This way of working makes the clipboards act like a stack, which you push things on to (copy) and then pop from (paste). The 'bigcopy' and 'bigpaste' macros mentioned above implement it. Another approach is to set up buttons to move through the clipboards and with the clipboard on view move to the one you're interested in and then paste from it.

I suppose you'd just replace copyselection(); with {setcurrentclipboard(getcurrentclipboard()+1)}","");copyselection();} in the existing button macro, and similar for paste. >On a totally unrelated note - Is there any way to get the !HideDoc applet to >have one of my own master documents as a default instead of an (empty) document >called 'PictureCache' which seems always to be there? This is also covered in the fine print with 2.57. OPro has various internal documents which should be invisible to users, but aren't always. There's a new HideDoc which makes use of a new 2.57 feature to fix this. But I can't stick it on the site until everything goes 2.57.

A length of 3 fitted in easily. Perhaps you could use something like the ellipsis character to get the effect.

However I solved the problem. The last line of the boot file had acquired some extra characters. Once I tidied this up the problem disappeared and the upgrade was fine. Having deleted the offending characters I cant remember exactly what they were but [0d] appeared a couple of times in it. Is this a carriage return? Thanks for the reply. However all is well now.

One glitch which hit me tonight is that I seem to be losing spot colours in Artworks files again (the 'Use spot colours' option is not giving me the colour defined in the OvPro file).

Quit and re-run OPro or the new Button Sprites will not be registered = !! 2)Open the macro window (Menu-Misc-Macros, or Ctrl-Adjust click on any Bu= tton Bar button) 3) Select 'Button', Click on 'New' 4) (EXAMPLE 1) Call the macro 'nextclip'; attach the sprite 'nextclip' t= o it, and when the new blank macro field is presented to you insert the = macros {setcurrentclipboard(getcurrentclipboard()+1)} or for 'prevclip', {setcurrentclipboard(getcurrentclipboard()-1)} Note: NO double quotes For the 'bigcopy' and 'big paste' macros, the actual form should be as: {nextclip}{if (cancopy()) copyselection(); else bbc_vdu(7)} {if(cliptype()>=3D0) pasteselection(); else bbc_vdu(7)}{nextclip} (The braces (curly brackets) need to be as above or you may get an error = message about the 'nextclip' function) 5) Select 'Key' in the macro window 6)=A0Repeat the above macro definitions, putting in your chosen keystroke= s. Click on the button on the right of each button definition to put it into= the button bar (and similarly disable the original copy and paste button= s if you so wish) and Ctrl-Select-Drag the buttons to where you want them In IconBar Menu - Choices - General - Clipboards write the no. of clipboa= rds you want and either click or (if you want your setting to= be kept across every loading of OPro). If you only have one clipboard, y= our new macros will still work Now when you press Ctrl-B to open the clipboard, your new 'nextclip' and = 'prevclip' macro buttons and keystrokes should cycle through each clipboa= rd, and your new copy and paste ditto should advance to the next clipboar= d before performing its action. I've left my original Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V keystrokes with their original f= unctions (you'll see why you might need to after you've used the new syst= em for a while) Hope this helps ColinC --=20 _ ________________________________________ /_| _ _ _ /| /_ _/_ /' / || (_|(_)/ |/(/_/_ / The Internet Experts ________) ___________./ colinc@argonet.co.uk -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Mon Feb 7 16:47:09 2000 Received: from punt-11.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA118155 for opro ; Mon, 07 Feb 100 16:47:02 GMT Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 949785291:10:00154:17; Sat, 05 Feb 2000 21:14:51 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa1120239; 5 Feb 2000 21:14 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA21448 for ovationpro-list; Sat, 5 Feb 2000 20:59:17 GMT Received: from mail1-gui.server.which.net (mail1-gui.server.which.net [194.168.97.3]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA21443 for ; Sat, 5 Feb 2000 20:59:16 GMT Received: from i.buchanan.which.net ([194.168.102.67]) by mail1-gui.server.which.net (Post.Office MTA v3.1.2 release (PO203-101c) ID# 0-33929U70000L2S50) with SMTP id AAA527 for ; Sat, 5 Feb 2000 21:00:59 +0000 Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2000 20:48:10 +0000 (GMT) From: i.buchanan@which.net Subject: Re: Multiple Clipboards (OvationPro 2.57) To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk In-Reply-To: <118138@pilling.demon.co.uk> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII X-Organization: X-Mailer: ANT RISCOS Marcel [ver 1.46] Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro David, Where do we find Ovation Pro version 2.57 please.

I've not had time to do anything with it yet, as "family" things have to come first today, before I can play. :-( Funnily enough I'd done some of what you suggest in your info, the only difference being... in the 2.57 info doc the Macros are defined as: The following macro definitions are useful. defmacro(2,"nextclip","{setcurrentclipboard(getcurrentclipboard()+1)}",""); Obviously I copied the thing exactly as written in the doc, which now transpires was a pointless exercise.

One tiny niggle, though; I seem to lose my choices and the preferences as incorporated in the default document (things like the date format for the former and the hyphenation set-up for the latter). Am I doing something wrong, or is this something inherent in the upgrade method? If so, could it be fixed? One other little point: I don't understand the way of making multiple clipboards (anything including the words 'macro' or 'script' tend to make my brain close), but if I do get into this how does the global clipboard fit in?

I'd already done a set of button sprites and put them in place. No wonder I was going around in circles, the macro definitions in the New257 info doc are *substantially* different to the material in your help mail. Cheers & thanks... Dave S General comment for the list. Okay so it's working, but it's essentially unmanagable... I'll try and explain ... if I can. Say four clipboards set. Aside from trying to remember what you've put on what clipboard, there is no indicator of what is on which clipboard. There is no visible indication of what clipboard will be the next one when you do Ctrl-B or click on the Toolbar Icon. (unless you remember where you are in the stack). There is no way in the present setup for viewing a number of clipboards at the same time, so that the user can see which clipboard contains what, and select the one required. Maybe all the above would be possible with extension to the existing macros... I wouldn't know. Mmmmnnn! That'll do for now. As I've said before though, some of the new stuff in 2.57 is excellent.

The page numbering stuff was OK and is now in place in a soon to be released 1.06. People should note however that it appears that using the pre 2.57 way of implementing mixed leading characters does not seem to work any more (no leading appears...). This means older documents will probably need changing. As IdxPro used this I decided to allow in version 1.06 a new style applied to all the sub index entries. This also seems to work but I seem to have found a small bug in 2.57. Take 2 styles - one contains a tab ruler - just a single right tab with leading (set to a single full stop) in lets say trinity 12. Now create a second selection based style that is just Corpus Bold. Type a line using just the first style with a tab and all appears fine. Noe enter the second line but put the words before the tab in the second style (overlayed on the first). When you press tab you find the cursor moves to the right place but the text appears in the wrong place :-( I'll release version 1.06 very soon but please be aware of the above points when using leading. I also mail DP with an example file.

The original problem was that documents with coloured pictures (sprites or jpegs) originally prepared on v252 would not print with correct colouring on v256. In the end I decided that I could overcome the problem by loading my back-up copy of v252 when I needed new copies of the old documents.. no other solution seemed possible. Now I have found that if I load an 'old' document prepared on v252 into v256 even one without pictures and then (in v256) draw a new frame and import a new sprite /jpeg into it I still get the horrible overcoloured printouts. While importing the same picture into a 'new' document on v256 prints perfectly. So it seems that any document prepared originally on v252 is in some way contaminated so that it knows it is v252 and it will not print correctly from v256 even if there is and never was a picture in that document. Can this be right? -- /\ _ \ |==============| / / / \__\ |===================| | Rodger Davis | /_/ / / / \ | rod@argonet.co.uk | |==============| / \_/\_/ /___) |===================| -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Mon Feb 7 16:50:39 2000 Received: from punt-21.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA118276 for opro ; Mon, 07 Feb 100 16:50:36 GMT Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 949875183:20:03789:18; Sun, 06 Feb 2000 22:13:03 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa2119017; 6 Feb 2000 22:12 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id VAA25617 for ovationpro-list; Sun, 6 Feb 2000 21:44:42 GMT Received: from monsoon.mail.pipex.net (monsoon.mail.pipex.net [158.43.128.69]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id VAA25612 for ; Sun, 6 Feb 2000 21:44:39 GMT Received: (qmail 27366 invoked from network); 6 Feb 2000 21:44:38 -0000 Received: from userax18.uk.uudial.com (HELO loopback) (62.188.139.9) by smtp.dial.pipex.com with SMTP; 6 Feb 2000 21:44:38 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Dave Symes To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2000 21:32:01 +0000 (GMT) Subject: Re: Multiple Clipboards (OvationPro 2.57) Message-ID: <498c48299ddfs@ukgateway.net> In-Reply-To: References: User-Agent: Pluto/1.13f (RISC-OS/4.02) POPstar/2.02 Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro In article , Colin Carnegie wrote: > On Sun 6 Feb 2000 (15:19:42 +0000), dfs@ukgateway.net wrote: > > Aside from trying to remember what you've put on what clipboard, there > > is no indicator of what is on which clipboard.

Obviously I've got the HideDoc Applet installed... though it never ocurred to me to look for a clipboard in there... I mean it's only supposed to hide docs. Yes it does expose the Clipboards.... but still leaves the problem where in the present stack is the bit I want to paste, and how do I get to it without a load of time wasting. And yes it can be done by clicking the nextclip and prevclip buttons, but in a business environment it's not very efficient or productive to have to keep needlessly clicking backward or forward to find the place in a stack.

The Roman numeral support means that this version of the applet is restricted to Ovation Pro 2.57 or later, and so the version 2.11 has been retained on the web site.

If you change the *final* Wimpslot max and min figures in the run file to 1184k (DP approved figure), have only one clipboard, and a sensible number of applets it should be around the 1600k mark. Each couple of clipboards appears to add 32k, each couple of drawfile borders the same. At the moment, without the colour supplement, artworks or fill applets switched on, but with basic useful applets like fluff, !!!!!!!!bm, abbrev, quotes, stationery, and a couple of others, I manage to come in at 1696k. I always quit the !printers icon (saves 200+k) and have 'print to queue' as default as OPro uses no sprite area memory in this case, but prints as if you aren't in the background. (Yes, I know, why...! It's an aesthetic thing with me.... I hate that long hourglass activity while the print to file happens...).

It seems to be working again. The problem was on a machine with only 32 MB so it was unlikely to be caused by high memory addresses. I hope it was just a glitch of some kind during upgrading.

Look at the discussion here (approximately in October). The problem occurs when the address allocated to OvationPro's dynamic area by RISC OS becomes too high. When that happens is a function of; (a) how much memory you have in your machine (b) how many applications which reserve a maximum size area of addresses are run before OvationPro. It is rarely going to be a function of the size of the file you're loading or how much memory OPro uses. It is possible to use various memory management modules to solve this problem.

Just a guess, but possibly because applets like THe can't be dragged from version to version, they have to be installed - they insert a library of their own in the !OvnPro.Library directory.

I can see a 'Picture Frasme Inset' which I take it is what you refer to. Does this only affect new pictures? It has no effect on the document in hand For an existing pic, I select the pic, then menu.. Modify picture. On that I see nothing about insets, clipping curves or frames. I could liook at the manual, but of course of neccessity that's now in lots of different bits! I am finding that O-Pro is becoming a very specialist tool. That's not a criticism - but like most software, it tends to require more and more specialist knowledge. I have been using it for a while, but I only have a few documents, and once they are written, that's the end of them, except for a few minor tweaks! Much of O-Pro's 'complexity' is actually a matter of jargon. Until you know the jargon for the feature you want, you cannot search in the manual! There is a glossary - but nobody yet has invented a glossary to work backwards! I know what I need to do - now what's the word for it? I've found it in the manual. Select a picture, Menu->Object->Modify gives the box. Save, it's a shame you inherited the manual and the menu structure! Some features are well hidden in a place which is only obvious with hindsight! The manual doesn't well explain where they are. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Torrens 4QD manufacture speed controllers for battery electric motors. www site http://www.4QD.co.uk ---------- We use a RISC-PC 32 bit RISC computer ---------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Wed Feb 9 13:52:08 2000 Received: from punt-11.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA118673 for opro ; Wed, 09 Feb 100 13:52:03 GMT Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 950091541:11:24655:17; Wed, 09 Feb 2000 10:19:01 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa1124606; 9 Feb 2000 10:18 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id JAA02868 for ovationpro-list; Wed, 9 Feb 2000 09:47:16 GMT Received: from daffodil.csv.warwick.ac.uk (root@daffodil.csv.warwick.ac.uk [137.205.192.30]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA02863 for ; Wed, 9 Feb 2000 09:47:14 GMT Received: from pansy.csv.warwick.ac.uk (root@pansy [137.205.192.19]) by daffodil.csv.warwick.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA29774 for ; Wed, 9 Feb 2000 09:47:02 GMT Received: from bashley (bashley [137.205.186.91]) by pansy.csv.warwick.ac.uk (8.9.3+Sun/8.9.3) with SMTP id JAA03000 for ; Wed, 9 Feb 2000 09:47:00 GMT From: "Nick Kaijaks" To: Subject: RE: Paper backgrounds Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2000 09:46:03 -0000 Message-ID: <000901bf72e2$7ac8ab50$5bbacd89@wbs.warwick.ac.uk> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 In-Reply-To: Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2014.211 Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro Peter Prewett wrote: > I have a need (occasionally) of having a paper background such as a > leather finish > > The only way I can see of doing it is to create an image in other SW and > making a frame for it. I think that's right. With the tile code that DP introduced in v2.56 you can fill a page-sized frame with a fairly small repeating image though, which gives a *huge* saving on disc space. Use a program like Texture Garden to make your own, or do a search on the web for words like 'background' and 'tile' and you should find plenty of GIF images that you could import. I just did a quick look and found: http://www.vbe.com/~starman/graphics/backrnds/backrnd.htm for example. For a print background, you'd probably need to cut back the intensity of the colours using the curves or gamma settings (in the picture>colour dialogue if I recall, assuming you've got the colour supplement installed). Alternatively, you could even just make the image a duotone of say 30% black and white. Good luck!

Yes, a few tests revealed this to be a Wimp bug (it's reading the menu width from the wrong location). Matthew's fixed it in our (RISCOS Ltd) current internal build. I'm not sure if it will see the light of day in a patch for previous OS versions.

I looked at Wimp_CreateMenu in the PRM and noticed word 16 of the menublock is the width of the following items. Then I looked in one of my programs which uses it and found the comment "system seems to ignore the width" after I had set it to zero. So it looks as though the combination of scroll bars and key indicators is broken. I suspect this was introduced at the time of proportional fonts for the desktop, at which point providing an accurate width became very difficult. -- Alan Adams alan.adams@orchard-way.freeserve.co.uk http://www.nckc.freeserve.co.uk/ -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Thu Feb 10 01:45:18 2000 Received: from punt-21.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA118765 for opro ; Thu, 10 Feb 100 01:45:16 GMT Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 950143411:20:01977:32; Thu, 10 Feb 2000 00:43:31 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa2001580; 10 Feb 2000 0:43 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id AAA04824 for ovationpro-list; Thu, 10 Feb 2000 00:02:17 GMT Received: from mail3.svr.pol.co.uk (mail3.svr.pol.co.uk [195.92.193.19]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id AAA04812 for ; Thu, 10 Feb 2000 00:02:10 GMT Received: from modem-30.nobelium.dialup.pol.co.uk ([62.136.70.158] helo=orchard-way) by mail3.svr.pol.co.uk with smtp (Exim 3.13 #0) id 12Ih3h-0004bp-00 for ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk; Thu, 10 Feb 2000 00:02:10 +0000 Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2000 23:19:34 GMT From: Alan Adams To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Subject: Re: OvationPro 2.57 and IdxPro Message-ID: References: In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Messenger-Pro/2.10 (MsgServe/1.10) (RISC-OS/4.02) POPstar/2.01b12 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro In message you wrote: > On Tue 08 Feb, Alan Adams wrote: > > In message <118420@pilling.demon.co.uk> you wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > >People should note however that it appears that using the pre 2.57 way of > > > >implementing mixed leading characters does not seem to work any more > > > >to all the sub index entries.

The likely scenario is that you download the Zip file, but what you download is corrupt. SparkFS tries to read it, and crashes, in doing so it damages the insides of RISC OS. The latest (but non-released) version of SparkFS is much better about some sorts of damaged Zips. However this brings us back to the question the other day, given the upgrade file on the server is OK, given that a hundred people or so have succesfully downloaded it, why do some keep getting damaged files?

The most likely cause is that an invalid cached copy of the file exists on a proxy cache somewhere. Until it times out, it will be supplied for every request. The problem is caused by a performance/function trade-off. If you run a cache server, you are trying to reduce network traffic. Each time a page is requested, the cache server is supposed to connect to the source site, check the file date, and only supply the cached copy if the date hasn't changed. However this costs bandwidth, albeit less than fetching the file every time. The compromise is not to check the file date if the file was fetched *recently*. This *could* be as long as the last 24 hours. Depending on the caching mechanism used, repeated requests might even refresh the file's validity and hence delay a check with the source. There are three approaches if you get this problem. 1 Find another site with the file 2 Change the case of part of the HOSTNAME part of the URL. (Many servers are on Unix, where filenames are case sensitive. DNS isn't case sensitive, and is used to find host names.) 3 Wait until the cached copy has expired before trying again. The only thing the software supplier can do is provide mirror sites to enable option 1 to work, or provide both HTTP and FTP sources for the same reason. -- Alan Adams alan.adams@orchard-way.freeserve.co.uk http://www.nckc.freeserve.co.uk/ -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Fri Feb 11 01:43:44 2000 Received: from punt-21.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA118922 for opro ; Fri, 11 Feb 100 01:43:39 GMT Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 950232943:20:05298:17; Fri, 11 Feb 2000 01:35:43 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa2125367; 11 Feb 2000 1:35 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id AAA07944 for ovationpro-list; Fri, 11 Feb 2000 00:27:51 GMT Received: from anchor-post-31.mail.demon.net (anchor-post-31.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.89]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id AAA07939 for ; Fri, 11 Feb 2000 00:27:49 GMT Received: from fergusn.demon.co.uk ([158.152.240.61] helo=fergusn) by anchor-post-31.mail.demon.net with smtp (Exim 2.12 #1) id 12J3w4-000LoS-0V for ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk; Fri, 11 Feb 2000 00:27:48 +0000 Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2000 23:46:31 +0000 From: John Ferguson To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Subject: Re: Can't open 2.57 archive Message-ID: <498E63D25D%john@fergusn.demon.co.uk> In-Reply-To: <118878@pilling.demon.co.uk> X-Mailer: Messenger v1.41d for RISC OS X-Editor: Zap 1.43 (28 Jan 2000) ds-12, ZapEmail 0.24 (26 Aug 1999) patch-9 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Posting-Agent: RISC OS Newsbase 0.61b User-Agent: POPstar/2.02 Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro Status: R In article <118878@pilling.demon.co.uk> opro@pilling.demon.co.uk (David Pilling) wrote: > > >Twice I've d/loaded O-Pro upgrade to 2.57, twice tried to open it with the > >same results. > >With SparkFS 1.36 running I click on the file and get an 'Abort on Data > >transfer' > >CTRL-Shift F12 gives another 'Abort on data transfer' error, clear that > >and a blank screen results, needing Ctrl-Break to reset. > > > The likely scenario is that you download the Zip file, but what you > download is corrupt.

In my experience using Browse there does seem to be some corruption of the OPro archive during downloading. Having said that, that needs qualifying. The conventional way of downloading files with Browse is to click on a link with Shift held down to pop up a 'save as' box and status window. However, zip files (and other non-displayable types) will still be downloaded via a 'save as' box if clicked on without Shift held down, but via the main browser window. I have found when downloading OPro upgrades clicking on a link with Shift held down invariably fetches a good archive. The added advantage of this method is, if you hold down Ctrl as well, Browse will fetch a copy direct from the server and not from the cache. It's when clicking on a link without Shift held down that I've experienced corrupt archives. This probably applies to fetching any large archive with Browse, not just OPro upgrades. When David put the link for the 2.57 upgrade on the mailing list, I clicked on the link from Messenger and the result was a corrupted archive. I then knocked up a small bit of HTML with a link to the file so that I could Shift+click within a Browse window to download it and downloaded a good archive. YMMV, of course. You may not even use Browse.

Why not just flush the cache of Webserve before you give downloading a second try? Or, if you don't want to do that, remove the (corrupt) archive manually from the cache? In both cases you are sure you get a fresh copy when downloading.

Hi, This cannot be as simple as stated, a problem with Browse. I have always downloaded OPro by just clicking on the link (or just typing in the url) and have never had a corrupt archive. I also regularly download other files, usually over 2Meg in size and again I have never had a corrupt archive with Browse. I only use the shift key when I wish to download several files at once. There must be something else interacting with Browse to cause the problems.

Dear All, Having been abroad for some time and therefore not having been able to download version 2.57 of OvPro the following comments come somewhat late. Having read some of the comments on multiple clipboards since the existence of (the meanwhile retired?) version 2.57 of OvPro, allow me to suggest an alternative to the complications of finding what is saved on which clipboard. For this you only need to activate the general Pasteboard: Menu > View > Options > Pasteboard or SC-O Objects can be dragged directly from your document to the pasteboard. To transfer text set up several text frames on the pasteboard (create one first in your document, then drag and drop to the Pasteboard, if need be several times). Using Copy and Paste text can easily be moved or copied from your document to the text frames on the Pasteboard and back. You can even edit the text in the frames and resize the frames themselves on the Pasteboard. Using Alt-Select you can move the text while Alt-Shift drag will copy the text from one area to the other. Many facilities *not* available when using the Clipboard... Having the Pasteboard facility I wonder if it is wise to complicate the program with an extended Clipboard. It gives me a feeling of "B-G-ware". And adding complicated programming is asking for bugs. If I am not mistaken the general idea of the Clipboard is a one-off idea. A quick way to move one topic. The Pasteboard not only offers multiple choice but allows editing as well. It might possibly be a good thing if version 2.58 is programmed to set up a default document with the Pasteboard showing. So as to remind Users of its existence. By the way: Chapter 7 of the old manual certainly needs some updating. As this aspect is not mentioned at all. It will be done!

Yes, perform a complete reset or maybe even a Hard reset. I've experienced the same problem at several occasions. It has not necessarily anything to do with OvPro, but can be a combination of several programs "multi-tasking" at the same time but not always liking each other. I do at present not excude a conflict with Ovation v1.48 The error message is because of a clash with another program. I have as yet not succeeded in tracking it down.

I had been wondering why I haven't had the urge to try out multiple clipboards and this probably the answer: the pasteboard is already an indispensable facility which we use extensively when building documents. Another tip: Menu-> Misc -> Preferences -> View and you can set the pasteboard to whatever width you want. You can easily make it big enough to take large frames of text or graphics.

It is talking about hard hyphens, like-this where you insert the '-' character yourself. Previously, whilst zzzzz would get passed to the event, zzzz-xxxx would not. The hyphens which plague you are soft ones, inserted by the program, and invisible (all too obviously) to the spell checker.

Off topic I know, but has anyone else on this group had similar probs with RO4.02, SARPC etc? Anyway, to the OvPro problem... the above meant I had to copy what I needed back to the re-initialised 1Gb disc. This of course meant that OvPro is now complaining about not being installed on its original disc. Trouble is, much as I thought I'd kept all the upgrade archives, I'm at a bit of a standstill. I've reinstalled 2.46 from my original floppies, but would like to upgrade to the 2.58 version I had just put on my 8.3Gb disc before deciding to leave off using it for a while. However, the only upgrades on DP's site seem to go from 2.46 or 2.52 to 2.56, while the recent upgrades I applied were to 2.52, the old copy of which was copied and scrubbed, and so now complains as above. Can someone please remind me how we got 2.52 as I can't find an upgrade to it in any of the archives I thought I had kept (the naming convention of which I found so confusing I had to run each !Upgrade to find out what it did!)

My initial reaction is to say this is due to the colour choices use correction tables option. These are the so called 'curves' used by Impression, CC printer drivers and OPro (if you tell it to) to convert RGB into CMYK. It often surprises people that some sets of these are designed to convert grey RGB into things other than pure K. Now I'd expect Impression to show the same effect when set up to use the same curves. The one possible loophole is if it is a grey scale sprite. There may be a case for converting those to CMYK in a different way.

I have found that using either of these versions has given me some grief. Version 2.58 broke down during printing the first side of an eight page magazine, displaying in the centre of the screen a completely blank dialogue box which would allow the pointer to move within it but not outside it until by chance some invisible button was hit. The machine was completely locked up, only the pointer showed any sign of life. Files which loaded OK in the first instance stubbornly refuse to load on future occasions. Fortunately I had DDL files which could be loaded but on saving again as OPro files they refused to load again. Because of this I have reverted to version 2.56. Is this just problems with my machine or have others had similar experiences? I have checked the Applets file, and NewFrames is not there, I understand that this has caused problems when an earlier version was used. If anyone has any ideas of things I could check, help would be very much appreciated. I am not using RiscOS 4 yet. Best wishes Bernard. -- Bernard G.

I know there is one difference with 2.58, pre print passes are set up as on (OP print choices). They default off in the older versions. Of course there is the old tale about pre print passes needing to be on to print JPEG's via Turbo drivers. >Files which loaded OK in the first instance stubbornly refuse to load on >future occasions. What does 'refuse to load' actually entail? Was there an error message and if so what did it say? Did OPro crash? One guess would be the !Run file not getting updated, wimp slot too small and all that. But 2.58 should work even if the Newer copy option is not right.

You must have a text file, or something else that is normally handled by StrongEd, within your !OvnPro.Applets directory.

As I understand the term a duotone is strictly a combination of two colours (you can also create tritones and quadtones). However, Ovn Pro and I think ArtWorks, use a simple approach where one colour reduces from 100% to 0% while the other increases from 0% to 100%, both linear. In its fullest form, you can control the gradient of both colours independently, using Bezier curves. This would satisfy Dave's requirements. In the Mac and PC world, this facility is provided by Photoshop, so I guess it's over to Spacetech rather than to David Pilling, though it will be interesting to see what Vantage offers here.

We've now resolved this saga, it seems the trouble is postscript screening. One version is putting screen commands in the output and the other is not. 2.57 bug fixed various problems with this. The trouble was that in some situations where screen commands had not been explicitly set on or off they would not consistently default to either setting.

In fact in this instance I've found incomplete trapping :-) Having practised using multiple clipboards I find I can Type 5 OPro 2.57 repeatedly just by going into Iconbar Menu ->Discard document and clicking on one or more of the clipboards.

Already it is a quicker way to pour data into e.g. table slots, than creating several frames on the pasteboard - fewer actions and saves on screen space. One day we'll have simple but automatic table-making facilities=B9, with no doubt a merge facility transferring csv data via multiple clipboards. =B9without stepping on Dalraider's toes JW --=20 ---------------- Fiel a la filosof=EDa RISC ---------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Tue Feb 15 22:59:09 2000 Received: from punt-21.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA119559 for opro ; Tue, 15 Feb 100 22:59:07 GMT Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 950655645:20:11633:17; Tue, 15 Feb 2000 23:00:45 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa2126789; 15 Feb 2000 23:00 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id WAA23364 for ovationpro-list; Tue, 15 Feb 2000 22:31:28 GMT Received: from cask.force9.net (cask.force9.net [195.166.128.29]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id WAA23358 for ; Tue, 15 Feb 2000 22:31:26 GMT Received: (qmail 27954 invoked from network); 15 Feb 2000 22:31:25 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO tinshill.force9.net) (212.159.68.201) by cask.force9.net with SMTP; 15 Feb 2000 22:31:25 -0000 Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 22:07:48 +0000 (GMT) From: Anthony Hilton Subject: Re: Duotone To: Ovation Pro List In-Reply-To: <4990c8d123dave@tfalbb.freeuk.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII X-Organization: X-Mailer: ANT RISCOS Marcel [ver 1.53] Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro In on Tue 15 Feb, Dave wrote: <> > > Consequent to this I have had to duotone a picture in Photoshop on the pc > rather than using OP, with the further consequence of now having to use a > pc based dtp package for this particular job as there is no way (AFAIK) of > getting the duotoned Photoshop graphic back to the Acorn in a format that > can be read by OP without it reverting to multiple colours. > Can photoshop not output the result as a colour TIFF or JPEG (no compression to keep all detail) which you can move into OPro? I get confused with the term Duotone - what do you mean (what does photoshop give you)? and what does David Pilling think it is?

What Impression does... is treat 256 colour grey images in a special way, as you say the curves are not used, and so grey does not spill into the CMYK plates. So if in Impression you have three grey images side by side, one 256 colours, one 16 and one 32 thousand, the greys in the 256 colour image will be represented by different CMYK to greys in the other images. I suppose they have to do that or else pure grey colours and colours close to grey in one image would come out with wildly different CMYK values. Anyway, what do you think is the ideal solution? repeating the Impression trick (which surely sets a trap for someone), allowing a button on the picture processing window to not colour correct the image?

I've found that any attempt, even supposedly legal ones, to reduce a given number of clipboards, once created, causes a type 5 crash, even with HideDoc disabled - eg , I have my choices defaulting to one; if I use the new !Clipboard applet (or before that, Iconbar Menu->Choices->General->No of clipboards) to create eg 2 or more, then, after using some or all of them if I use !Clipboard or Menu->Choices to reduce the number of clipboards, or take it back to one, a type 5 occurs!

Photodesk 3 didn't want to know this one. I've always found Photodesk to be next to useless for pictures with less than 256 colours anyway. After many weeks of fighting with PD2, ISTR being told by Spacetech that it wasn't designed for images less than 8 bit, and I should use something else instead for those. It is one of the more glaring omissions from the package, in my opinion, but that's neither here nor there.

According to what I have read and understand a litho press can only represent a limited number of grey scales, probably much less than 256 so 32 thousand or 16M greyscale images would be illogical and a complete waste of time and space. An 8-bit greyscale image is intrinsically monochrome so I would argue always to treat it as a special case. Anyone who wants a monochrome image to separate into CMYK can convert it into an RGB or CMYK image first.

Firstly, on the whole the manual is quite readable and works pretty well. By it is extremely frustrating that if you look up virtually any feature via the index, tracking iit back to O-Pro's menu's is difficult, usually requiring one to read backwards sevaeral pages. If you need examples of that to clarify, I can easily supply. Second problem - that has not yet been solved (as far as I know) in any manual is typified by the following: I know what I want to do, but I do not know what it is called, so how do I find out about it through the manual? This seems insuperable. But is it? It's not simple to solve, but if a good introduction is written, explaining what the program does, how it sets out to do it and how it is organised, then anyone having read the intro may be able to guess where such a feature may be located. Such an intro is not easy: it needs to be well written, so interesting to read and it needs to be written by someone who knows the intricacies of the program yet someone who can blank their mind of all specialist knowledge, so they don't make assumptions. If the intro succeeded, it would also be about the best possible sales lead.

I've not seen this, although there are clearly a few minor problems with the clipboard still around. Is there anything unusual about your setup (e.g. does this still happen after a minimal boot, and/or with applets disabled)? Basically, it seems that, for most people, it is perfectly possible to create and delete clipboards if you follow the legal routes.

Apart from anything else, you have the problem of 'rich black': black in process colour work usually has at least a percentage of cyan added, sometimes tints of other colours as well, to give a richer black (certainly true on the book covers I've done). So black is by design not necessarily confined to the key separation.

This appears to be due to 2.58 defaulting preprint passes on, older versions didn't have it set. See the Printer section of OvationPro choices. Once something has been printed, then the document will print OK, and of course printing to an Acorn printer driver works. Because there are no changes to printing in 2.58/2.57 I suspect this problem would appear in older versions too.

I've found and fixed this bug now. What you have to do is copy to say clip board #8, then reduce the number of clip boards so that there are less than 8, this forces the current clip board to be reset to the largest number left, and in making that change some vital data is corrupted. >On a separate note, attempting to disable the applet with a double click gives >me an error 'Cannot rename '.Apps.OPro.OvnPro.Applets.!Clipboard-' as >it already exists' Because you have 2 copies of it, one with a - suffix and one without.

I don't think so. I do only have 4Mb memory, and so run with a final WimpSlot of 1184k rather than 1388k, but I seem to remember trying the same process with the larger figure and it still happened.

No, that's not it. Definitely. I've looked everywhere, in the applets directory, in my Apps.OPro directory, in the !OvnPro application directory, in a backup 2.57 directory, and my original !Voyager downloads directory, and there is definitely _no_ !Clipboard- applet state.. What's more, the problem occurs wherever my copy of !Clipboard may be - eg if I shift it out of OvnPro.Applets and then try to disable it, or do so on one of the other copies Colin Carnegie -- _ ________________________________________ /_| _ _ _ /| /_ _/_ /' / || (_|(_)/ |/(/_/_ / The Internet Experts ________) ___________./ colinc@argonet.co.uk -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Thu Feb 17 01:35:05 2000 Received: from punt-11.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA119695 for opro ; Thu, 17 Feb 100 01:35:01 GMT Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 950743499:10:04266:18; Wed, 16 Feb 2000 23:24:59 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa1101616; 16 Feb 2000 23:24 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id XAA27882 for ovationpro-list; Wed, 16 Feb 2000 23:04:08 GMT Received: from merlins.force9.net (merlins.plus.net.uk [195.166.128.23] (may be forged)) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id XAA27872 for ; Wed, 16 Feb 2000 23:04:04 GMT Received: (qmail 9253 invoked from network); 16 Feb 2000 23:04:04 -0000 Received: from mayfly.plus.net.uk (HELO mayfly.force9.net) (195.166.128.28) by merlins.plus.net.uk with SMTP; 16 Feb 2000 23:04:04 -0000 Received: (qmail 32709 invoked from network); 16 Feb 2000 23:04:03 -0000 Received: from 224.01-03.quay.dial.plus.net.uk (HELO tinshill.force9.net) (212.159.72.224) by mayfly.plus.net.uk with SMTP; 16 Feb 2000 23:04:03 -0000 Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 22:54:58 +0000 (GMT) From: Anthony Hilton Subject: Re: Duotone To: Ovation Pro List In-Reply-To: <49911fac60dave@tfalbb.freeuk.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII X-Organization: X-Mailer: ANT RISCOS Marcel [ver 1.53] Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro In on Wed 16 Feb, Dave wrote: > In article <119438@pilling.demon.co.uk>, > David Pilling wrote: > > > > >For instance, if I have a graphic in OP and select duotone with red and > > >black the graphic literally becomes shaded between red and black.

What David Pilling has provided under the name of duotone is a way of making an image shade from one colour to another. I understood the old definition of a duotone to be reproducing a single greyscale with 2 halftone plates, one optimised to reproduce the shadows and the other to reproduce the highlights, as a way of reproducing more shades than a single halftone will achieve. I think that Dave is after this, but to print one of the plates in a spot colour. One way of achieving this in Ovation Pro might be to place the original greyscale, modify it if necessary, duplicate the frame in the same place. Set the new frame to transparent background, make the 2nd image a duotone (Opro definition) from spot colour to white (or transparent) with suitable mdifications to gamma etc, and ensure that the spot colour and the black of the first image are set to overprint. Hopefully the two separations will print and can be combined as usual on the litho press. If you are after a composite print on a colour printer or for screen use this will probably not work.

This is the reason I hate StrongHelp manuals. The problem is that they are, quite accurately, described as manuals. What is needed is a User Guide. The StrongHelp structure doesn't work for this. A user guide tells you how to do things. The reference manual tells you what the features do. So if you want to know how to mail-merge you need the user guide, If you want to know what the next button in the mail-merge window does, you need the reference manual. Incidentally my first step with new software (including operating systems) is usually to read the manual, cover to cover. (In the case of VMS, it was 9 feet of manuals, and it took me a week.) Afterwards I may not understand it completely, but I know what can be found in the manual, and I would hope to have a reasonable grasp of what the thing is for.

I think that it is only colour images which have quoted colour depths of 32K or 16.7M, the latter being RGB at 256 levels in each colour. A 256 colour image can be either 256 grey levels or 6.35 in each of 3 colours - RGB - (or 4 levels in each of 4 colours - CMYK).

Perception of the grey in the colour image will be affected by the surrounding colours in the image, the lighting when viewing and even the background - coloured table/cloth, wooden (look) desk, etc. I would expect a true greyscale image always to print on the black plate only when separated. If it looked like a greyscale but was actually David's 32k colours sprite it would have to be treated as a colour image, but with under-colour removal (grey component removal) might reasonably be expected to be mostly on the black plate - particularly the shadows.

Quite, what they do is define a set of colour correction curves which maps grey all over the CMY plates, and then wonder why grey images do this. For the record Impression makes a special case of grey text, and Draw files which contain just greys, but treats a grey frame background as RGB colour.

See my other email - I've not heard of this problem from anyone else so it may be something unique to your setup if this is happening all the time (which is what I think you said). I can certainly create and remove clipboards 'legally' without problems most of the time. I will admit to having seen the Type 5 occasionally, both on creating and deleting clipboards and on accessing them. Most of this, however, I put down to development problems but it does still happen very occasionally. This obviously needs clearing up but it's surely not a huge problem? Creating and deleting clipboards is not something that I'd expect needs doing a lot in real life. Simply choose however many clipboards you need and then use them. > On a separate note, attempting to disable the applet with a double click > gives me an error 'Cannot rename > '.Apps.OPro.OvnPro.Applets.!Clipboards-' as it already exists' Yes, I realised after it was all finished and sent off that the name I'd given it was 10 characters long, which means pre-RO4 systems won't be able to rename it (the hyphen on the end gets truncated off so the name is the same as before). Simply rename it to !Clipboard (i.e. lose the final 's') and it should work fine. The applet name is irrelevant to its function. > But otherwise I think it's a 'well done sir' to you Ta :-) John -- John Pettigrew XL Cambridge - Contract and freelance editing and writing Life sciences specialist - molecular biology, genetics, biotechnology john@xl-cambridge.demon.co.uk -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Thu Feb 17 13:36:40 2000 Received: from punt-21.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA119727 for opro ; Thu, 17 Feb 100 13:36:38 GMT Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 950777346:20:01718:23; Thu, 17 Feb 2000 08:49:06 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa2105234; 17 Feb 2000 8:48 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id IAA30311 for ovationpro-list; Thu, 17 Feb 2000 08:24:51 GMT Received: from serv1.is1.u-net.net (serv1.is1.u-net.net [195.102.240.129]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA30306 for ; Thu, 17 Feb 2000 08:24:49 GMT Received: from [195.102.198.226] (helo=catchline.u-net.com) by serv1.is1.u-net.net with smtp (Exim 3.12 #1) id 12LMEx-0001qJ-00 for ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk; Thu, 17 Feb 2000 08:24:48 +0000 Received: from Gill (10.0.1.1) by Caslon.english.co.uk; Thu, 17 Feb 2000 08:19:58 +0000 Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 08:20:50 +0000 From: David Graddol To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Subject: Re: Colour separations Message-ID: <86eca99149%Support@Gill.english.co.uk> In-Reply-To: X-Organization: The English Company (UK) Ltd X-Mailer: Messenger v1.41d for RISC OS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro "Ian R.

In Impression you explicitly choose colours as RGB colours or as CMYK colours. Set a frame background to 50% black in RGB and of course it separates onto the CMY & K plates. Define the background in 50% black in CMYK and the black appears only on the black plate. It's quite important when doing things like adding borders to frames, setting backgrounds to choose CMYK black, unless as David Graddoll says, by design, you really do want black underprinted by cyan, say. But then you would define a CMYK colour as, say, 50% cyan and 100% black. If you choose RGB black then misregistration can give less than perfect results. An example is white text on a black background - choose CMYK black unless you know registration will be spot on. Impressions default is to RGB colours, which is perhaps unfortunate.

A duotone is not always extending the greyscale. It can also be used to get a colour shade effect that varies along the greyscale. The main thing is that it has to produce two or more films/plates for printing to get the effect. The image will look smoother as well with two screens/greyscales. The old duotone was the answer of offset and autotype to the nice grayscale and smoothness of rotation gravure. There are problems with PostScript display of duotones as in PDF. If David wants to avoid problems on that aspect he has to study how Adobe will implant duotones in PDF (as a graphic industry format and as a web format). It could be that the menu should allow the options * for another 'spot'colour or * translating the other plate to CMY. If a duotone is used in a two colour print job the first choice is the only choice. If a duotone is used in combination with four colour printing the last option will be sensible. This will also make it possible to simulate duotone in composite print and maybe for PDF documents).

An > example is white text on a black background - choose CMYK black unless you > know registration will be spot on. Misregistration will give less than perfect results when you choose black underprinted by cyan = 'rich black' as well. In ArtWorks you could get a black text + outline overprinted on the same cyan text underneath with the outline made white. Trapping in a sense. This allows some misregistration. Greys can be smoother when defined in RGB (= all CMYK, depending on the amount of colour removal) than if they are defined in K only. But on the other hand it could introduce colour shifts and misregistration.

On further studying the Photoshop duotone output, (aside from the dual bezier curves as Mike Williams pointed out) I think the only real difference is that it leaves any white areas as white. Would it be possible to perhaps add an option beneath the duotone function to do just that?

However, the nearest equivalent would be to use courier (corpus) and say single line space was 0% leading, 1 1/2 50% leading, double space 100% leading and so on. I'm not sure this would make so much sense with other fonts, however, where visual space between lines depends on various factors such as x height (relation between body and descenders/ascenders). Fonts in traditional lead type tended to vary in how small they were on the body (i.e. some 10 pts might be smaller than others appear to have inbuilt leading). But all this is immaterial to wordprocessing. 4 line spacing is surely 300% leading.

And if so, how can it be done? Well you tell me this... I was once told that hyphenation in German is a fundamentally different process to English. In other words you don't just want a new HyphData file that sticks the '-''s in different places. You want something more complex? If it is just a matter of a new HyphData file I can do something, but writing a whole new way of hyphenating would not be on. Avid readers may have noticed OPro was supplied with Norwegian hyphenation data for a few versions. So it can be done.

The problem is that it's hard to cover all the possible circumstances under which the icons might need to change state. The current setup means that it's up to OvPro itself whether or not a button has an effect (i.e. what happens when you try to paste from an empty clipboard). As for the buttons themselves, if anyone cares to play with the template and give it 'sexy icons' rather than the text labels, do feel free to do so, and let me have the results. I think, however, that the current setup is the clearest.

It is not that white areas are left white but that both colours (each of which range from 100% to 0%) are set so that their 0% values coincide. The OvnPro duotone seems to work on the basis of using two colours, so you cannot have two colours plus white, unless you allow for three colours in total, but that still would not guarantee white staying white. The only alternative to the use of Bezier curves to control tonal profiles is to have two copies of the image in question, one in each of the two colours, and the top one set to overprint (but how would OvnPro cope with that?). In effect that enables you to do manually what Photoshop does automatically.

I think it is called TransWord, and my problem is that with increasing use of WordPerfect2000 (as opposed to the earlier versions) I am constantly receiving files output from that package, as attachments to e-mails, and cannot handle them at all. I am left having to tell all my correspondents that they must either send me an ASCII file or RTF. I know that you recently said you felt RTF was a dying format, and also it is true that OvationPro cannot produce that format. But (a) It is VERY much better than receiving ASCII, and (b) several correspondents at the time expressed contrary views and said how useful they found it. I wonder what the prospects are for an upgrade of this filter?

An option that converted white to transparent before the duotone was effected would be ideal. That way the white would still appear to be in the finished picture rather than be shaded with the upper colour. As the main use I have for this is when producing output for film separations, whether it is white or transparent is irrelevant as both have the same end effect. As you say, I could always give the graphic frame a white background on the occasions it was not for separations.

I think it is called TransWord IIRC, TransWord is for MS Word documents. However, it's rather out of date. I use AntiWord, which at least lets you extract the text from the file (or a Draw file, which isn't very useful in this context). It still understands current Word docs, so you could ask your correspondents to send you files in MS Word format instead. I'm afraid I don't know where to get AntiWord but I know it's heavily linked in the Acorn world, and I'm sure it's on some CDs.

If you have, say, black text in a frame which you have set the background colour to other than white, you have a choice as to whether you want the colour 'knocked out' under the text or whether you want a solid block of colour and the black text physically printed on top of the colour. Which you want in practice depends on such things as how pale a tint the colour is in relation to the text (which of course may itself be in a colour). Overprinting may cause a muddying of colours but knocking out does require that you have faith in the registration of the different colour plates - any slight aberration and you get a slight gap on one side where white shows through and overlap on the other. Of course, that's where trapping comes in. Unlike Quark Xpress, OvPro can't handle trapping. The saving grace is that most people say you should not touch Quark trapping with a bargepole but should leave trapping to whoever is producing the film ('in rip trapping'). I'll leave it to someone else to explain in-RIP trapping.

And what's the reverse of a Glossary? I want to do this.. now what is it called so I can look it up in the index? If the manual is electronic, a text seach of the entire manual can help. We're in the process of scanning and re-laying a genealogy book (www.4qd.co.uk/torrens/books/rmtindex.html) It is useful to load the entire text into StrongEd and do a 'List of found' on a name. The same technique could work in finding a 'how do I'. > Incidentally my first step with new software (including operating > systems) is usually to read the manual, cover to cover.

How do you do that with StrongHelp? Electronic manuals often lack a path through them. One is expected to alight on bits, not read from cover to cover.

As one who has mentioned overprinting here recently - it means printing both items when one is in front of another and hides it on screen. To see it in action type a line of black text, draw a line rule over it, make the rule wide and a different colour which is set to overprint. On screen the line will hide the text, the printed result should be the same as if you'd put the line behind the text (as if you'd used a highlighter pen). Print separations and you'll see the line is solid and the text is also solid. If the line were not set to overprint but was behind the text it would separate with white "holes" where the text has to fit. It is used for colours behind text, without it registering the black text exactly with the holes in the colour is nigh on impossible and the result is white edges to the text. As was suggested here recently to print a black and white photograph in two colours with different gamma curves but both with 0% of the colour at the same place so the OPro duotone feature will not do. Hope that helps.

Sorry if someone else has mentioned this earlier in the thread, but in the interim, why not define the greyscale sprite as a black-white duotone? That forces it into the black plate only. I do it on auto-pilot nowadays - so much so that I had to double-check for myself what happens if I don't. and in a later message: >An 8-bit greyscale image is intrinsically monochrome so I would argue always >to treat it as a special case. Anyone who wants a monochrome image to >separate into CMYK can convert it into an RGB or CMYK image first. I think I probably agree with that. Question is, would it be better to do some special processing if OP decides it's a greyscale (i.e. treat it as a special case internally), or just automatically mark it as a black-white duotone for you (i.e. just automate the existing process) - maybe another choices option? My inclination is that the automation approach is more flexible than hard-wiring new behaviour, although I guess it does rely on the Colour Supplement being present.

The Ignore function is broken here with 2.58. I use OP to spellcheck text files (just because it's a good spell checker) and it's not ignoring words I tell it to ignore. For instance, type rubb rubb rubb rubb and spellcheck it. It will stop on the first rubb, but if you click ignore it will still stop at each one in turn.

Took no notice because I hadn't witnessed the phenomenon at the time - can't even be certain that the message was concerned with OvnPro. However over the past few days I have had several machine freezes on clicking "Print" in OvnPro print dialogue: Get largish background area overwriting about 1/2 screen with what seems to be an error box in the centre of it. Nothing visible but it does constrain the pointer to itself. There must be an active button because it is possible to click and thus remove the constraints on the pointer - but to no other good, clicking on anything else just brings back the invisible box and its constraints. Alt-Break has no effect. Only way out is to reboot. Most annoying, especially when I had tried to print without saving first! Can't deliberately reproduce it. Anyone know what this is?

Define the colour you want as a spot colour in OvPro, using the same name. Import Artworks graphic to an OvPro frame. Set Picture>Process>Use spots. It does work - text in the spot colour will knock out from the background colour on all separations unless you have 'overprint' selected.

Surely the point of knockout, is that everything is knocked out regardless of whether something is duotone. If it isn't, then the duotone could take on a completely different shade. The reason I made the drawfile a duotone was to force it to be a spot colour. There's no other reason for it to be duotone. I've recreated the draw file as an artworks file with a spot colour defined. I'm now having the same problem as others appear to be having. The colour redefines itself as CMYK, not a spot colour in Ovation Pro. I've tried setting Colour Correction both on and off in Choices but it has made no difference when I've reimported the image. In short, how would you suggest I get this done? I need to have the job finished by the end of this week, but have pretty much exhausted my ideas one by one. While I could create two separate documents and get the background knocked out by making the draw/Artworks files white then getting the films done that way, it's not a direction I want to go in ideally, and I don't see why OP appears to not want to do what is a relatively simple task without me having to jump through hoops.

I have got three buttons on my bar that do not display sprites, and when clicked on just produce a Throwback window talking about macros and unknown identifier today_entry, whatever that is. Actually I have had this with version 256 but have just put up with it until now. How can I find out what they really are, or are they just buttons not in use that I have accidentally put there? Shall I just delete them? 2. The 258 new features ReadMe mentions various new buttons. I know that some of these refer to buttons within dialogue boxes, (eg. the design size in the Frame border dialogue box), but other than the text grid lock button which I have spotted on the top button bar, I can't make out anything-else new. I wondered whether there simply are no more, - I am just imagining it - or whether the other new arrivals are not showing up because I have got my own button bar setup imported into 258 from 256, (I never did get 257)? -- Alex. -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Mon Feb 21 18:08:16 2000 Received: from punt-21.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA120098 for opro ; Mon, 21 Feb 100 18:08:14 GMT Received: from punt-2.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 951069658:20:04928:22; Sun, 20 Feb 2000 18:00:58 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-2.mail.demon.net id aa2004306; 20 Feb 2000 18:00 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id QAA13152 for ovationpro-list; Sun, 20 Feb 2000 16:52:58 GMT Received: from golden.argonet.co.uk (golden.argonet.co.uk [194.131.104.13]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id QAA13147 for ; Sun, 20 Feb 2000 16:52:57 GMT Received: from (193.149.85.186) [193.149.85.186] by golden.argonet.co.uk with smtp (Exim 1.82 #3) id 12MZbL-0002Wr-00; Sun, 20 Feb 2000 16:52:56 +0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Simon Young To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2000 16:51:35 +0000 (GMT) Subject: DDF import text bug Message-ID: User-Agent: Pluto/1.14e (RISC-OS/4.02) Content-Type: MULTIPART/MIXED; BOUNDARY="4993637974R4ActJOOy6sYveriHziTqx" Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro This is a MIME encapsulated message. --4993637974R4ActJOOy6sYveriHziTqx Content-Type: text/plain Dear David & All, It seems there is a small problem regarding the import of impression DDF style text. Specifically, upon the first style change instruction, any style (be it a defined style or effect) applied to the first character of the page is applied to the imported text. I employ !Citation to insert references into scientific documents, and this uses the DDF system to describe styles (an example is attached). You will note that I define a "Reference" style for OPro, which is then automatically applied to all reference text on import (actually I use this for 2 reasons - (1) as a development tool to highlight the references by changing the colour of the text and (2) to (slightly) reduce the text size of the reference text). Thus the small DDF import bug can rapidly make a real mess of a complicated document if an inappropriate number of style changes are suddenly applied to a fairly modest text insert. PLEASE, please can it be fixed? Many thanks in advance of your efforts. Regards, Simon -- Simon A.

This is a quite simple way to achieve the required results, with one niggle. Without experience you don't have the slightest idea what the outcome will become. Although you can make a combination of black and red first, to view the image proper and later on replace red with cyan in the same amount. This should give nice results. Vantage, although it's not finished does a hell of a job with colours, even without the TRUISM system A Vantage duotone image is a mix off papercolour and two inkcolours and can be done in very different ranges for example from paper to colour1 to colour2 or from paper to colour1+colour2 .. What would solve the problem in Ovation is to copy Vantage's system of inks, paper and colours. define paper colour, define ink colours and combine those to get the document colours. In that case you could make a two colour document with just two inks and a duotone from papercolour to a combined set of the inks. regards, Maarten M.

I have since realised that the words not spellchecked are capitalised words. So a quick check on the spellchecker options showed that cap' words were being ignored. So the latter seemed to be the case. I know I haven't set this, so I don't know what happened.

Yes, not with Opro but with Impression 4.01, Printers 1.54, Turbodriver (4.06 I think - how do I check?), Deskjet 500c, RISCOS 3.7, ARM610, 37Mb RAM. I was trying to print a long (114 page) document with lots of Artworks graphics in which I'd been sent, as 16 per page thumbnails with no crop marks. It worked OK if I printed one sheet at a time but not if I tried to queue more. The print queue had to be empty before I printed the next sheet, even though the printer could still be completing the previous sheet. I seem to remember something about the Artworks renderer not liking too much memory. Is it possibly hitting a memory address it doesn't like while rendering something and then crashing? Not much help, but it may not be an OPro problem.

First you need a template editor, like !WinEd, however remeber to turn of the 'strict with panes' option as this messes thing up. Now find the templates which are in (IIRC) !OvnPro.!OvnResDir.uk Make a copy in case you mess it up then lad them into your editor. Find 'InfoPal' and 'Toolbox' and change their window flags to include 'keep on screen' (Double click on the icon then on the window background) Save the templates and Voila!

So far this seems to have effected a cure but it has not had too much of a test up to now. I often found the files would not reload after this crash, clicking on the file caused the HD to click two or three times and then the computer froze up, needing a re-boot. I did return to Version 2.56 for a while but have now gone back to 2.58 to see if it is OK with the changes made. As a safety net, I keep saving my file in DDL format, so that I can get them back again in 2.56 should this problem recur. Bernard -- Bernard G.

The one thing about the ArtWorks memory problem is that it is a static problem - i.e. the allocation of addresses at which memory might sometime be allocated, which takes place when OPro is run and then never changes, and not dynamic - real memory being mapped to an address. It is completely different to the usual thing of "running out of memory". My feeling is that CC drivers can get tied in knots in some situations where pages are being added to the queue at the same time as printing is going on. One solution is to pause printing from the queue whilst OPro renders the document.

Closed the box and checked - the only numerical value is the size of the undo buffer. It was set to 8k. Try changing it - same error. The only way out was Cancel. Reran program and tried again - same result. Save seems to work - writes to the disc but although time is updated the changes in this window are not! All the others seem to be OK and save properly. Tried changing the file manually - the value are read correctly. This is reproducible from startup - I'm running OS4.02 on SARPC.

I've heard of this before, and it seems to be associated with not updating the templates file when doing an upgrade. (back to the stuff with copy options etc).

Possibly. Going back there was a common complaint that graphics files didn't knock out, that was fixed. Maybe I should have fixed duotones the same way. I can't off hand reconstruct the logic that gave me problems. I suspect it was stuff like the overprint limit for the end point inks. >I've recreated the draw file as an artworks file with a spot colour >defined.

With the one catch that if OPro's memory address space is too high, a limitation in the AW renderer will stop it working. (run OPro before you run lots of other applications). If you want to send me a demo of the AW file I'd be happy to check it out. In general I am inclined to tweek the AW applet so that it works whatever the memory situation. It'll go slower if the memory addresses are too high, but I guess thats a lot better than the current situation.

But because I had long ago upgraded my 2.46 (bought from BEEBUG) to 2.50, I installed version 2.46 from the original 2.46 discs into a new HD directory and tried to upgrade that new 2.46 version to 2.58. However, although all seemed to proceed alright, and I get the opening banner for version 2.58, this banner is immediately replaced by an "Application may have gone wrong error message" and on clicking describe I get :- "Internal error abort on data transfer at &000A650C" But my present version 2.50 and the newly installed 2.46 (which I copied to upgrade to 2.58) still work. Your advice would be much appreciated, please. Best Regards.

(steps 2 and 3). If you've not done that then, you end up running 2.58 with the !Run from 2.46, the latter has a smaller wimp slot and so the program crashes.

It would be interesting to find out if > it is only happening with one type of printer driver... I have two printers, a DJ550 on the Acorn standard driver, and a LaserDirect LBP-4. This is with SARPC, RO4.02, OvPro 2.58. I have had fun with the FrameMaker applet, putting a filled text- shaped frame in front of another filled frame. This printed fine on the DJ, but on the LaserDirect, the front filled frame would not allow the frame behind it to be printed if they overlapped. The solution was mentioned in this group in a thread about TurboDrivers, that 'preprint pass' needed to be *on* for this to work. The same is true for LaserDirect. Obviously there is some common CC code in the two applications. I have had no crashes from having this switched on, and the DJ is unaffected. Incidentally, I used to use TurboDrivers on the DJ, but found that the graduation of shading on the standard DJ550 Acorn driver was much finer, at the expense of some speed (when running a 610 processor) This is best checked using the '44 Magnum' Artworks file.

I re did the upgrade and it worked OK this time. I am however convinced that I did have Force ON and Newer OFF in Options because of previous problems. I do seem to have more problems with 4.02 than previously - usually they 'go away' during investigation so difficult to pin down. For example last night I investigated a problem with reading DOS discs - a HD disc reported a size of 800k with unknown values for used and free. Large files (greater than 800k) eg OvnPro upgrades would fail to copy to the hard disc. I eventually tracked it down to the DOSFS patch in the latest patch from ROL. I'll contact them directly about this. (I had resorted to copying from DOS to ADFS on my A3010 and then transferring on floppy disc to my RPC - a lot of hassle.)

Are you by any chance using a Powertec SCSI card? There is a well documented problem with DOSFS due to the way the DOSmount module (Powertec) attaches itself to a particular incarnation of DOSFS, i.e. it attaches to the ROM version, and the patch then rmkills this and loads a later version, which DOSmount will not know about - hence the problem.

(Publisher can't rotate frames and contents *together* altho' the *contents* of a graphics frame can be rotated within the frame, the boundaries of which extend to accommodate the contents.

I would assume it depends on the way the final image is rendered. You may have heard of the pantomime that goes on printing certain things to CC printer drivers, where one particular RISC OS routine for rendering sprites is implemented upside down in their printer drivers. If I had to guess, I'd say that Caligraph doesn't implement that routine at all. Its back to the usual thing - why did I use that routine? because it offered the most efficient and accurate way of achieving the final result. I would not now like to rewrite a large part of OPro to support what is (sad to say) obsolete hardware.

In recent times there's been some unhapiness with ArtWorks separations working erratically. The accepted explanation is that CC used one 32 bit word to hold both the address of something and some flags. If addresses get too big - as they will on machines with lots of memory - things go wrong. The new applet moves AW files to low memory before rendering them - if this is necessary. Presumeably this will make rendering slower, however it is the available solution which does the least damage, since Miss Moir rejected my suggestion they fix the problem or let me fix it. The applet has some other changes. It incorporates the functionality of the Quality applet, which lets you set the rendering quality for AW files, you can now throw away your copy of the Quality applet. Finally the current setting of AW quality is remembered. If you've inserted a script command somewhere to save this setting, you may discover that until you find and remove it, the new feature of saving the quality setting won't work. As ever I'm playing at computing as an experimental science, so see how it goes...

Now I think that a feature like transparency may really complete the circle. It could be applied to frame background colour, to pictures and to text, and it could be flat or graduated in the same way as fills are. This feature can be useful for producing watercolour effects, shadows and so on. And what about using the CC FontDraw module (or something similar) to render graduated text?

Can't be done because that module belongs to CC. As with yesterdays comments about the AW render module, its unfortunate that so many things which the RISC OS world funded are now unavailable to it, presumeably because the same algorithms are used in some of CC's Windows products.

Another approach, though often a pain in the neck for the list maintainer, is to ensure that postings to the list from a non-subscriber are moderated by the maintainer. I run a few eGroups lists, and they work this way. I agree with your final point that mailing lists rarely suffer from spam in the way that newsgroups do. It's just that once one company has verified an address (as the spammer who got through to this list probably now has done), it's sold on to thousands of other spammers. -- Liam Gretton ljg@star.le.ac.uk Space Research Centre, http://www.src.le.ac.uk/ Physics and Astronomy Dept, phone +44 (0) 116 223 1039 University of Leicester, fax +44 (0) 116 252 2464 Leicester LE1 7RH, UK http://xmm4.xra.le.ac.uk/ -- To unsubscribe from this list, email majordomo@lists.barnet.ac.uk with the words UNSUBSCRIBE ovationpro in the body of the message From owner-ovationpro@omega.barnet.ac.uk Fri Feb 25 00:09:58 2000 Received: from punt-11.mail.demon.net by pilling.demon.co.uk with SMTP id AA120614 for opro ; Fri, 25 Feb 100 00:09:56 GMT Received: from punt-1.mail.demon.net by mailstore for opro@pilling.demon.co.uk id 951432389:10:04663:22; Thu, 24 Feb 2000 22:46:29 GMT Received: from omega.barnet.ac.uk ([194.82.200.3]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa1004585; 24 Feb 2000 22:46 GMT Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id WAA29706 for ovationpro-list; Thu, 24 Feb 2000 22:14:22 GMT Received: from golden.argonet.co.uk (golden.argonet.co.uk [194.131.104.13]) by omega.barnet.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id WAA29701 for ; Thu, 24 Feb 2000 22:14:21 GMT Received: from usercc82.uk.uudial.com (localhost) [62.188.151.94] by golden.argonet.co.uk with smtp (Exim 1.82 #3) id 12O6WX-0004hs-00; Thu, 24 Feb 2000 22:14:18 +0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Mark Fraser To: Ovprolist Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 09:55:24 +0000 (GMT) Subject: Re: Lost copy of version 252 Message-ID: <4994c998e2mfraser@argonet.co.uk> In-Reply-To: <49937d25catony.humphreys@argonet.co.uk> References: <49937d25catony.humphreys@argonet.co.uk> User-Agent: Pluto/1.14d (RISC-OS/3.70) POPstar/2.02 Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Reply-To: ovationpro@lists.barnet.ac.uk X-maillist: ovationpro In article <49937d25catony.humphreys@argonet.co.uk>, Tony Humphreys wrote: > Having successfully upgraded to version 258 from my copy of 252 which I > kept in a !SparkFS archive, something went array with the archive and > consequently I have lost my copy of version 252.

Alas not. In this case the data is already being rendered from low memory. Really, Caligraph should have documented if their driver supports the SpriteOp SWI in question or not. It came in with RISC OS 3.10, and ISTR asking Acorn how I should tackle some particular problem and being told this SWI was the best, "we use it in our printer drivers, so it has to be good". Anyway someone has had about 10 years to program it. However I'd guess the experiences with CC drivers shows that few RISC OS applications do use it. Interestingly, when you render an ArtWorks file, CC redefine Acorns PostScript code so that it agrees with their upside down interpretation of the SWI. So we have to unredefine that. If this is the problem, I would expect image processed 16 or 32 bpp sprites or JPEG's to also not print. Do they?

I've heard this from someone else. However, neither I nor Dave P see this effect, which is odd. All the applet is doing is issuing the command to open the clipboard; I have no control over where it is opened. However, on my machine, it stays at the same location in the window stack. Can anyone narrow this down at all? For example, does it happen after a clean boot, or with no other applets installed? Apart from that, I can't offer any advice, I'm afraid. If there is a bug, it almost certainly lies in the script language, unfortunately, unless I've done something silly (any suggestions welcome - the applet source should be fairly easy to understand). > It is impossible to disable the applet if not using RISC OS 4. !Clipboards > has ten letters. Yes, sorry about this. I didn't realise until after I'd released it. As I mentioned last time this came up, you can simply rename the applet to anything you like. The simplest is just to truncate the name.

[Snip] > Regards > Roger Hi Roger, I've been having that problem since the Applet first appeared. I've also had a chat with the author of said Applet (John Pettigrew), who says it works okay on his machine. The only way I can successfully get the Clipboards to appear consistently at the top of the window stack (in front of the Ov Pro Doc), without using the quit window tool [X] is to use the original OvPro Clipboard view tool. That is to say... Click the Applets "View" button to see the particular clipboard, then click the original OvPro Clipboard tool to make it go away... When the next Clipboard Applet "View" button is clicked the new clipboard view appears at the top of the stack as it should... and so on. Obviously the original OvPro Clipboard view tool can make the current clipboard appear as well as disappear.

Joking apart (that was a programmers joke (even if it wasn't funny)) has 2.57/2.58 hung? or is it just taking a long time to work things out. All this is interesting because if you look at the NewDocs.Summary file, I've not recorded changing anything relevant in these versions. So I wonder why you think there's a difference?

Well, I think yes: Cerilica developed a new rendering module which substitutes the Acorn DrawFile module, so that you can render Vantage drawings in apps like PhotoDesk without modifications. As they said, Vantage file format will be an extension of the Draw file format, so that anyone will have the possibility to read/write it or extend it. And it was told that David is working on a high integration between OvPro and Vantage, so we can just wait and see...

I was under the impression that this was how the list was actually intended to work.
