| <<<Back 1 day (to 2013/08/09) | 2013/08/10 |
ray_laptop | WHOO-HOO!!! It's a progression!!! We now match Acrobat (since a section at the top disappeared, I thought it was a regression | 00:01.40 |
| time to commit (and make cust 532 happy) | 00:01.56 |
| hmm... Bug 693681 that Alex "fixed" back in Mar was only a partial solution. Had he noticed that we still didn't match Adobe, he might have dug into this issue back then :-( | 00:58.39 |
| oh, well. I'm giving BOTH fixes to cust 532 | 00:59.00 |
| I re-opened bug 693681 and assigned it to Marcos to let that customer (580) know that the fix was incomplete | 01:16.38 |
| now back to cust 801 issues... | 01:17.06 |
mvrhel_laptop | ray_laptop: good job!! | 02:42.30 |
ray_laptop | mvrhel_laptop: thanks. Turns out that using 'initclip' inside a Pattern PaintProc doesn't work. The 'pattern_accumulator' device doesn't set ImagingBBox (and ImagingBBox_set), nor MediaSize) so gs_initclip returns an empty path. | 02:45.17 |
| mvrhel_laptop: I went back to the initial issue and found out that if the clipppath was transformed, then we are OK. | 02:46.02 |
| AND regression testing showed the progression from Alex's fix back in March | 02:46.35 |
| (it was only a partial fix) | 02:46.49 |
ray_laptop | hates coordiinate space transformation issues (but then, don't we all?) | 02:48.03 |
| mvrhel_laptop: so, you haven't weighed in. Should --saved-pages="print odd", followed by some user interaction, then --saved-pages="print even", will print any needed extra (blank) page by default? This is assuming that this is for manual duplexing and when you have a 5 page job, and get 3 sheets from the "print odd" and put them in the input tray, that after "print even" you want all 3... | 02:53.03 |
| ...sheets back | 02:53.04 |
mvrhel_laptop | ray_laptop: sorry I have not weighed in on this. I need the whole thing explained to me | 02:54.01 |
ray_laptop | or should the default be to NOT eject the last odd page? | 02:54.12 |
mvrhel_laptop | I need to go re-read what you wrote | 02:54.55 |
| hold on | 02:55.05 |
| reading commit notes now.... | 02:55.47 |
ray_laptop | mvrhel_laptop: saved-pages doesn't print right away. It collects clist data and a "list" that allows those to be printed in arbitrary order, any number of time until --saved-pages=flush | 02:55.48 |
mvrhel_laptop | ah | 02:56.02 |
ray_laptop | mvrhel_laptop: so it allows us to print odd, then even pages | 02:56.22 |
| as well as any number of copies of pages that make up a "job" (collated copies) | 02:57.11 |
| sort of like what you can do when printing from some apps -- print pages 1-3, 6, 9 | 02:57.52 |
mvrhel_laptop | ray_laptop; this is impressive | 02:58.06 |
ray_laptop | (I added * as the last page) | 02:58.09 |
| mvrhel_laptop: the work wasn't in the parser or printing from the list -- it was getting deferred printing to work. The rest took about 1 day (except for getting consensus on how it should work) | 02:59.19 |
mvrhel_laptop | ok | 02:59.38 |
| well it looks like a lot of work to me | 02:59.46 |
ray_laptop | mvrhel_laptop: it's easy to change, but I'd like to keep the UI (command line interface) constant so we can go forward without backward incompatibility | 03:00.29 |
mvrhel_laptop | ray_laptop: so your description of print odd and print even seem natural to me | 03:01.19 |
| how else would one do it? | 03:01.26 |
ray_laptop | forgot what I posted ;=/ | 03:01.44 |
mvrhel_laptop | that is your descrption above | 03:01.47 |
| mvrhel_laptop: so, you haven't weighed in. Should --saved-pages="print odd", followed by some user interaction, then --saved-pages="print even", will print any needed extra (blank) page by default? This is assuming that this is for manual duplexing and when you have a 5 page job, and get 3 sheets from the "print odd" and put them in the input tray, that after "print even" you want all 3... | 03:01.52 |
ray_laptop | mvrhel_laptop: OK. | 03:02.04 |
| but that was a question | 03:02.19 |
mvrhel_laptop | well the answer is yes | 03:02.41 |
ray_laptop | mvrhel_laptop: THANKS. | 03:03.31 |
mvrhel_laptop | CAPS LOCK IS ON ;) | 03:03.57 |
ray_laptop | I think I will add an obsucre option "evennopad" | 03:04.02 |
mvrhel_laptop | that will keep everyone happy | 03:04.17 |
ray_laptop | no, CAPS LOCK was a big THANKS | 03:04.17 |
mvrhel_laptop | ray_laptop: so I wanted to chat with you for a second. is it ok to call? | 03:05.01 |
ray_laptop | other than chirsl, robinwatts and now you, it's been silent | 03:05.07 |
| mvrhel_laptop: sure | 03:05.11 |
| (to the call) | 03:05.16 |
mvrhel_laptop | ok. hold on let me find my phone | 03:05.19 |
ray_laptop | mvrhel_laptop: want me to call your phone so you can find it ? ;-) | 03:05.44 |
ray_laptop | calls my wife's phone often for that ;-) | 03:06.18 |
| guess not. It's ringing | 03:07.47 |
mvrhel_laptop | henrys: That is a weird reply from Steve to Ray. | 05:57.38 |
| ray gave him the fix | 05:57.46 |
| anyway done for the night. will be running some raspberry pi timing tests on the J files tomorrow I hope | 05:58.51 |
| Forward 1 day (to 2013/08/11)>>> | |
