Kind of already there if you enable the splash screen

I didn’t realise it expired yesterday, I’m onto it now, thanks

Quite true

I don’t see why not, you have to legislate for potential technical issues if the pupil suggests it wasn’t there fault. It a bit more straight forward with pen and paper. [emoji1]

They are all kept in the c:\programdata\examwritepad\ folder. Or where ever you pointed the backup path in the config file.

My case was in relation to mocks not finals but I suppose if the students are happy to sign a blank page then that is what gets submitted. Like you say, what is onscreen or printed at the final whistle is final.

What you will also find is with the previous version history you have a path of what they did every minute of the exam. You can she a pattern of the way they worked. We had one where they started to write go half way through them started to retract to the point it was blank. At least we had a paper trail, so to speak, to build a picture of what they were doing. That another beauty to EWP and what it can do.

V2.4.2.2 is very old and has issues, you should really be using v2.6.8.0 or newer v3.2.5.0

[emoji23][emoji1303] I see, my point is that what you are doing is being done on the UI thread (User interface) thread so I will naturally be slower than running the encryption task in a separate thread or background worker. It’s something to have a look at, I use many separate Threads in my ExamWritePad software so that the UI is as fast as it can be so the user when typing the document will not notice anything. You are doing something different but because you are reporting back to the UI thread a progress bar it slows downs the whole process. Once you get your head around threading and BGW (backgroundWorker) then you won’t look back...

Run if from server or like us we run a script that copies it to the local PC.

Our plan is: spring = second week of Easter hols. Summer = any time after gcse results. Autumn = 3-5 days before Xmas. Ans has been our plan for the last 8 years due to these issues.

I was going to suggest you need a maximum value..... just out of interest does your data processing hold the program back? What I mean is does everything happen within a single process so the progress bar progress is clunky and not smooth. I suppose what I’m getting at is anything that needs to be done in terms of processing should be performed on a separate thread or background worker so that the main form can stay responsive. I do this all the time with my software I create. I find it’s best practice to keep your main form responsive to the end user so other things can be done along side those in the background.

Download www.examwritepad.com or via the in-app update 3.2.5.0 (08/12/2019) · FIXED: An issue where subsequent printouts after the first, would hide the header/footer. · FIXED: Quick formatting panel has been optimised in terms of position, colour, size. Also, if you now disable the quick formatting panel it will also remove the TextControl ‘MouseUp’ and ‘MouseMove’ event handlers that would be doing background jobs that are not required. · ADDED: Added new button called ‘Margins (page)’ to allow you to adjust margins for all pages. This can be disabled and probably would be advisable to do so, in an exam environment, if you print the header and footers. · ADDED: You can now set the following config options to set the default page margins for a text document. If no options are set the default is 20. If you wish to change them, set the following options ‘Document_Paper_Margin_Top’, ‘Document_Paper_Margin_Bottom’, ‘Document_Paper_Margin_Left’ and ‘Document_Paper_Margin_Right’. · ADDED: When you now disable a ribbon button/combobox in the config, it will now hide the button instead of disabling it. AT the moment button placement is not dynamic so hidden buttons will still hold their positions. A new dynamic ribbon is being built and tested to see if it will make it to EWP long term. I will keep you posted about this. · ADDED: If you now disable show line numbers button, it will also remove the TextControl ‘VScroll’, ‘HScroll’ and ‘InputPositionChanged’ event handlers that would be doing background jobs that are not required. · FIXED: When you select text in the document and move away from the document window the selection stays visible, so you know what is selected.

I found an issue where it happened pretty much on all subsequent prints after the first, with any printer. I believe I have sorted out the issue and a fix will be issued on Sunday.

Splitting the printer into two printers was best way for us.

I see, problem is some text might need to be bold or in italics so changing the colour was the best option for extra time as it’s what most people asked for when the idea was floated around months ago.

You will notice that the header is still there but it’s printed it white, effectively appearing blank... I would need a full step by step replication so I have something to trace, thanks

I’m struggling to understand what this would achieve, sorry. Can you elaborate please...

I can’t legislate for this, for a student having to remember to switch the printer properties to colour because of paper cut restrictions, would be an extra step to far maybe. What we do is separate the same printer into two, one BW and one Colour. And map the printer accordingly.

3.2.0.0 (04/12/2019) • FIXED: Issue where in some instances, when no printers are installed, the print sidebar fails to close. Also, Buttons to print document and coversheet are disabled if no printers are installed. • ADDED: Ability to make the following Candidate Information non-mandatory (not required): Exam Board, Subject Title, Syllabus/Entry code and Component/Unit Code. These options can now be set in the config using the following options set to = 1. “CandidateInfo_ComponentUnit_Required”, ”CandidateInfo_SyllabusEntry_Required”, “CandidateInfo_ExamBoard_Required”, “CandidateInfo_Subject_Required”. Please note that if you disable the ExamBoard then you will not be able to print a coversheet. • ADDED: New option to disable the Date/Time from being printed in the footer of each document page printout. Config option “FooterDateTimeAppearance” = 0 to turn off (disable) and 1 to print (enable). • FIXED: Muted Audio would re-enable itself if you cancelled the password on exit window. • FIXED: Password on Exit window would generate two save document questions instead of just the once. • FIXED: Find/Replace message boxes would sit behind the main window when in full screen. • UPDATED: ConfigEditorGUI has been updated to include the five new config options.

I managed to get it to work, in a fashion by selecting the words in the document and pressing the play button and they just play automatically. If you edit the "ClaroRead.ini" file and modify the two lines to add ExamWritePad at the end (see below) ProgramsNeedingC=*digitaleditions*lexilaser*antido32*GaaihoDoc*WWAHost*iexplore*bookreader*acrord32*acrobat*ExamWritePad*ProgramsAcceptingDoubleClick=*winword*soffice*notepad*wordpad*opera*firefox*acrord32*iexplore*webbie3*chrome*savetovideo*safari*ExamWritePad*

I have found the issue and have fixed it. New release soon!

Which options have you changed in the config? Can you PM me the config so I can test my end

I can’t get this to fail, I have set a password and full screen in the config and everything works as expected. Have you made sure that you have installed all the prerequisites for EWP as list in the documentation?
