 <<<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 regression00:01.40 
  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 53200:59.00 
  I re-opened bug 693681 and assigned it to Marcos to let that customer (580) know that the fix was incomplete01:16.38 
  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 March02:46.35 
  (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 back02:53.04 
mvrhel_laptop ray_laptop: sorry I have not weighed in on this. I need the whole thing explained to me02:54.01 
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 wrote02:54.55 
  hold on02:55.05 
  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=flush02:55.48 
mvrhel_laptop ah02:56.02 
ray_laptop mvrhel_laptop: so it allows us to print odd, then even pages02:56.22 
  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 impressive02:58.06 
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 ok02:59.38 
  well it looks like a lot of work to me02:59.46 
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 incompatibility03:00.29 
mvrhel_laptop ray_laptop: so your description of print odd and print even seem natural to me03:01.19 
  how else would one do it?03:01.26 
ray_laptop forgot what I posted ;=/03:01.44 
mvrhel_laptop that is your descrption above03:01.47 
  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 question03:02.19 
mvrhel_laptop well the answer is yes03:02.41 
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 happy03:04.17 
ray_laptop no, CAPS LOCK was a big THANKS03:04.17 
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 silent03:05.07 
  mvrhel_laptop: sure03:05.11 
  (to the call)03:05.16 
mvrhel_laptop ok. hold on let me find my phone03:05.19 
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 ringing03:07.47 
mvrhel_laptop henrys: That is a weird reply from Steve to Ray.05:57.38 
  ray gave him the fix05:57.46 
  anyway done for the night. will be running some raspberry pi timing tests on the J files tomorrow I hope05:58.51
