- Pagestream 3.0h2 Bugreport
- --------------------------

- Hi
-
- I have an Amiga4000/040 with 12MB Ram. I use the german Version of PS3
- so some keywords may be wrong. I use PS3 mainly in text mode for
- creating books which are relativ big (the current is about 400 pages).
- I use several files to keep to speed up the layout when adding/deleting
- text. For having several files the pages of a new file does not start
- with page 1 but f.e. with page 16. Still it is sometimes a pain, when I
- have files with 50 or more pages. Also if I select page 50 f.e. I have
- to wait quite long... On the other side I'm quite impressed how fast a page
- is shown. This a big improvement over PS2.2.
-
- Except several problems while importing (mainly because PS3 seems to have
- a higher precision as PS2.2 had) and some other I have found the following
- "real bugs". I don't know what are the known bugs of text related problems
- but I'd like to know them (if you have a list).
-
- - If I select page 16 on a document with starts with page 16 PS shows
- me page 32. It seems page 16 = page 1, page 17 = page 2 etc. internally.
-
- - If I create a text column, linked, from page 16 to 50 it creates one
- from page 16 to 34 only (seems to be similar to the above bug) if
- file starts with page 16. Similar problem when deleting pages.
-
- - master pages: I have a double sided document. My first document starts
- at page 7 and ends at page 16. Now I have created a text column on the
- master page which has LG on the left master page and RG on the right.
- the first one is left aligned, the second is right aligned. Here I
- found two bugs: 1) If I look at page 7, the seven is not right aligned,
- but there is a 7 and after it a space before the right edge. If the
- document has more than 100 pages you even see 2 spaces and on page 10
- you see 1 space. 2) If my document starts on page 16, the 16 is shown
- on the right side instead on the left side.
-
-
- On the coming 3.0i: You talk about text tags, but I'd like to especially
- know if kerning pairs (edit kerning), find/replace and Hyphenation will
- be implemented. I know you can use find/replace withing Page Liner, but
- I'd like to do either a macro which seearches a pair of words, replace
- it by another kerning pair (f.e. "(WA" looks quite ugly with Times normal)
- or a macro which searches the same but then uses a kerning style tag.
-
- I also hope that you can speedup editing of text (not so important) and
- jumping on page in a far range (this was much quicker with PS2.2) (quite
- important).
-
- Finally I'd like to thank you for the time and the support you gave and
- give us and the Amiga (cheers :-).
