printout wizard, offline editor and mac

hi,

i'm trying to print out the patch and the channel list via the printout wizard. the problem is, even though the dialogue says that its saved as printout.txt, its nowhere to be found on my computer.

any idea how to get it in a folder so i actually CAN print it??

best

HI Emma, Welcome

The easiest way is to connect a USB to the congo, when you use print wizard then it asks you to save to USB, where a Notepad document gets saved and you can print from there. Print wizard doesn't recolonize 0.5 so if you have a 0.5 it wont print as I fount out.....The tech team is onto this one in the next update Im told :)

thanks, but i'm still puzzled..
the thing is that i've got a show emailed to me and i need to break it down on my mac book.. won't be near a console for a day or two..
so, the offline editor isn't saving the "printout.txt" to a usb stick, but says it saves it somewhere else.. and is not creating a notepad document in the congo directory.

Hi Emma,
You should get a file called PRINTOUT.TXT in the same folder as Congo is running. It works when I run Congo in the development folder but not (I just discovered) when running from the Program or Application folder on a Mac. I don't know why this is. Maybe, some kind of permission issue on the Mac that doesn't allow the file to be created. Try copying the Congo application folder to some other folder where you have full permissions (like your home folder).
If this doesn't help, you can send me the show file that you want to print and I can return the txt-files to you.
In the meantime, I have to dig deeper into this to understand why it doesn't work as it should.

Mac is fairly picky about permissions in the application folder. However, you may try running a repair permissions after the application is installed. In other development applications I've worked with this usually solves the problem, and it will allow it to deposit files in its own folder. This of course assumes that permissions were set up correctly when the app was developed initially. but if it works int the Dev folder, it should work in the Apps folder as well.
My two cents....
