Print window image

Post by chrisMcM »

Am I the only one who no longer seems to see the option "Print Window Image" under File? I'm using 2.24, and it wasn't in 2.23, but I can't remember which version I last saw it in.

Thanks!

This was removed a few versions ago for technical reasons. You can find more details here: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmm/software/s ... html#print

Thanks very much for that very quick and helpful reply. I'd searched for 'PRINT' but only looked through the forum and not the FAQs, which is probably how I had missed it earlier.

Thanks again

Good idea, I have pasted the question here:
I upgraded my MLwiN to version 2.20 and no longer can PRINT windows! When I select FILE, the PRINT option does not appear. Has anyone else encountered this? I had no errors appear when I installed the upgrade. I was using an earlier version earlier this morning and PRINT did appear (and I used it). Please let me know what to do.

The window capturing functionality has been moved to a (so far undocumented) command. This will allow window capture to be performed as part of a macro, as well as adding the ability to capture window images directly to bitmap files. Unfortunately the new command means that we are no longer able to send a window image directly to the printer. You can however get the same effect (with possibly more control over the size on paper/etc) by capturing the window image with the "Edit > Copy" menu option and then pasting the image into another application, such as a word processor, and printing from there.
