Howdy, Thanks for all the fixes and new features. That must have been a lot of coding! The styles are amazing, and will speed things up a lot. I have one bug report - the "New Translation" choice in the pop up menu is greyed out and does not work. Also, don't know if the net was slow or what, but I ...

Howdy, Here is the latest round... ;) Feature requests: * Auto save. * Auto page add. Sometimes a single page import takes up to ten seconds. Sometimes it's about one and a half seconds. I think it has to do with the way the .jpg is generated by photoshop, but when it's a ten second import, I really...

Howdy, The save-page fix is excellent. Thank you. Haven't tested the export yet, but I will. I found that I was looking at the wrong console program.

Howdy, Yes, the title is "options setting error". I don't see anything in the console except this: "[JavaAppLauncher Warning] Specifying a specific version for JVMVersion 1.4.2 is deprecated. Use the more general 1.4* instead." Another bug report: When you export a page range of images, then try to ...

Howdy, I just upgraded to the latest GMAO, and there are problems with the options screen. If you open the option screen, regardless if a change is made to the settings or not, when you hit "ok", you get a error message that pops up. However, the error portion is blank. There is only the icon and a ...

Howdy, Are you just adding a page, saving, and then adding a page, saving, etc.? In that case, you don't need to open the tree and select the last page again. When a new page is added, GMAO does not update the work area. To see (and work on) a newly added page, you have to open the tree and click on...

Howdy,

Thanks for the updates as always.

Mac OS X runs shell programs no problem since it is unix. Care to share your scripts?

Also, FYI, the GIF patent has expired. http://slashdot.org/articles/03/06/20/0 ... 185&tid=99

Howdy, More feedback. The biggest continual workflow issues I have are: * Tree refresh. Having to re-open the tree after each page add and page save is a real pain. * Gutter spacing. Having access to this in the font menu accessed via the context menu would be great. Sometimes I just need that littl...

Howdy,

Thanks for the quick fix, and also the tip about the Java Web Start.

Current Mac OS 10.3 version of Java is 1.42, so all is well on that count.

As always, I appreciate the work you have done on GMAO.

By the way, why does GMAO export images prefixed with "ae_" ? Can the prefix be changed or eliminated?

Where are character names stored?

Howdy,

Where are the names of the characters stored? I fumble fingered a couple of names when adding text, and now I have these typos showing up in the font option panel. I just want to blow these mistakes away.

Re: Comments on GMAO

Howdy, Well, it isn't right click necessarily, but whatever is considered a "popup menu trigger" for your OS. For Mac, I believe it is option click. Control click. I just found out the other day that you need to check for pop-ups on mouse-up for Macs. If you can get a pop-up menu on the Page items i...

I take it from comments further down that some of it is available through a right click context menu, but I don't get a...

Howdy, I have used GMAO to mark up a chapter, and here are some things that come to mind: * I really want more control over the placement of text in a bubble. * The annotation window should be accessible via a button on the right of the zoom drop down. It's a major tool, and needs a button as well. ...
