Other
Stuff...
Other Stuff that defies single topic catigorization
except under headings such as Other Stuff or Bits&Pieces is
described here.The topics listed below will merit more attention in
the future and probably gain their own individual chapters as
GXWaterfall matures with each update and revision.
Printing Issues
GXWaterfall now supports Drag & Drop printing
from the desktop, just drag a GXWaterfall document(s) onto a desktop
printer icon to print the document(s).
NOTE: Coloring affects the printing of GXWaterfall
documents e.g. text colors will be represented as greyscale on a B/W
printer. Background coloring does not affect printing.
TIP: If you wish to just print a page(s), use the
GXWaterfall print option as this will enable the printer to use the
actual document fonts. Printing PICTs does not give as good an output
(bitmap, pixel based) but PICTs are widely supported and therefore
are ideal for attachments / compatibility etc.
Scripting
Support
GX Waterfall is now scriptable (supports the 4 core
events - open application, open document, print document, quit
application).
Known Bugs
Here's a rundown on the current known bugs within
GXWaterfall which have still to be ironed out.For the most part these
bugs can be worked round and should pose no serious problems.
If you use a WYSIWYG (Wizzywig) extension for your
font menus (i.e., Chicago is in the Chicago font, Times is in the
Times font etc.) the hierarchical menu may not work properly (no
submenus will be displayed). Such extensions must be disabled if this
problem occurs.The problem came to light with 'Now WYSIWYG' which I
was using - the feature seems to supersede/bypass some Menu Manager
routines and interfered with some library routines I am using for the
menu. Other WYSIWYG extensions may work fine.
Clicking on either the vertical or horizontal scroll
buttons on a test document currently has no effect, for now however
this is worked around by dragging the appropriate scroll bar until
the desired document location is reached or else by paging through
the document with the page up-down parts of the scroll bar.
