Trevor,

When printing to a PDF file, would it be possible to make the background color/image a background layer in PDF that could be suppressed when actually printing a hardcopy?

Also, I recently noticed that when using the A4 page size in landscape mode, there was a thin white band at the right edge of the generated PDF pages.  This band went away when I chose a Custom page size of 8.27 x 11.7 inches instead of LPub3D's default of 8.3 x 11.7 for A4. 

Thanks!

Kevin

This is a difficult topic.

Now that we have switched to the new forum software, and now that some months have passed since that,
I find myself in the situation that I feel completely lost inside it.
I very much appreciate all the features it has, but I find its current skin containing too much distracting stuff,
too many buttons, too many things on the screen.
also, in the design there is "too much air".
in the previous software, I was able to mentally keep track of various threads, and I found it easy to jump
back and forth between them. today, whenever I go to my "home link" for the forum,
http://forums.ldraw.org/search.php?actio...ly&days=14
, I just see a long, confusing list
and do feel so lost inside our forums that I
(a) do not read much there anymore
(b) lose track of discussions going on
© lose track of my own posts

I wonder how this could be solved. My first request would be if it would be possible to get a much, much simplified skin,
with all the bells and whistles reduced to a bare minimum.
for example, in the link mentioned above, I would like a view which has 1 line per post.
it should not cite the contents, and not use 2 lines for showing the thread topic and the post topic, just the post.


does anybody feel the same?

to better safeguard ldraw passwords etc.
I'd like to request to adjust the server to serve both the forums and the PT
via https instead of http

Sorry, but version 0.8.26 is now marked as unstable / impossible to use.
I reverted all download paths (github / sourceforge) back to version 0.8.25.

J.C. Tchang found a bug, which triggered an infinite loop on the first start.
I apologize for any inconvinience! :/

• ...benefit from a brand new render engine (thanks to the power of OpenGL 3.3, which makes better use of the GPU).
  
• ...activate "Smooth Shading" (requires the new render engine).
  
• ...benefit from a faster program start.
  
• ...benefit from better performance for "Show All".
  

1. Toggle comment / TEXMAP didn't adjust the text selection.
   
2. Sometimes a time-consuming selection with the selection rectangle did select nothing.
   
3. Background Image: "Previous" and "Next" buttons skipped images.
   
4. Edger2 wrongly added condlines in the middle of slightly warped quads
   
5. Edger2 put condlines/edge lines between surfaces and... protractors.
   
6. Double click doesn't select the last character of a value if it was at end of line.
   
7. !TEXMAP PLANAR: Wrong winding for CCW faces (with INVERTNEXT)
   
8. Fixed a rare exception regarding directory I/O
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LDPE.
   
4. On linux, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
   

1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
   
2. On linux, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

Hi!

When i convert my LPUB3D instructions to PDF, arrows of some callout move, they don't stay at the same place. But only in the PDF document.

Have you an idea to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance and best regards!

Is there an easy way to find all my own posts? I found the option in CP to find all my *threads*, but I want to find my posts in other people's threads as well. Thanks.

Is there an easy way to convert old forum URL in order to find again content? (eg. http://forums.ldraw.org/read.php?19,1161...#msg-11619)
