Its a *huge* pain to output PDFs, and is very slow. I did it with my record sheets but for these cards I just didn't see the time tradeoff as being worth it. <br /><br />Are you wanting anything inparticular? I do requests ;)Bad Syntaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952088688624485275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469427374826339357.post-6462955393096499522013-08-25T20:55:26.388-05:002013-08-25T20:55:26.388-05:00I thought about exporting things like fonts, sizes...I thought about exporting things like fonts, sizes of stuff, and so forth to simple to edit notepad files, which is just like nandeck, but it would take me quite some time.

Given how they don't federate (which is kind of the point of a private forum server), I worry about the community getting too dispersed.<br /><br />As long as the software can output in some sort of vectorised format (e.g. PDF), it shouldn't be a problem to manipulate it programatically (perhaps via the SVG format).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469427374826339357.post-77237107456030429062013-08-25T09:01:52.650-05:002013-08-25T09:01:52.650-05:00But, and that is a fact, if you would use nandeck,...But, and that is a fact, if you would use nandeck, everyone could join in an do there own cards, drawn to there specifications, there background art and whatnot... But when you release said textfiles, i can do mine with nandeck or cardmaker which is a more userfriendly, wysiwyg editor.Flashhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314148218431251737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469427374826339357.post-78101029854761156482013-08-24T22:35:53.855-05:002013-08-24T22:35:53.855-05:00Really sorry about your cat and dad.

I made everything auto-fit, embedded fonts, added better support for transparent images, added support for all white TRO like images, made more room for move as 10"/12"j simply wouldn't fit, much less 10"/12"j/4"u. <br /><br />I also embedded support for using the canon Masterunitlist.info site. HOWEVER, it has been down since last night, so I can't test my code. So in a few minutes I'll go back into code and make the app use my images and data from the last time I updated my stuff from the canon MUL (I do so every month or more). I should have a new version released tonight with a few thousand *QUICK STRIKE* (so, outdated if your using Alpha Strike rules) data from the canon cards on the canon MUL site.Bad Syntaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952088688624485275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469427374826339357.post-89896020556481976102013-08-24T17:51:35.839-05:002013-08-24T17:51:35.839-05:00Condolences on your cat.

That sucked!!<br />Hate to spoil the other party BS but did you look up nandeck or cardmaker like i told you some time ago? If you make your cardmaker, you are basically reinventing the wheel and you make one that can only be used by pink post-carts..:) meaning you limit the software to bt only. If you have a look into nandeck you will see it does all the nice thing you do and a couple of more tricks. I know you don't play well with others, but sometimes you can easily use whats already there, giving you more time for other duties. Just my 2 €-cents. Shoot me an email if you need the links. <br />FlashhawkFlashhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314148218431251737noreply@blogger.com
