For now yes, but version 2.1.9.0 or version 2.2 will be out next week [emoji1303]

I think I’m going to change the approach to printing the coversheet which currently sits in the same print process as the printing for the document. The only way I think I might be able to fix it is to offer two menu options: Print Document And Print Coversheet This way the print processes are independent of each other. I will trial it out over the next few weeks and report back so hopefully you can test it for yourselves.

No worries, I will sort this out also :-)

I have now added in a new applocker variables for %REMOVABLE% or %HOT% and it will detect the FIRST available removable USB drive that has more than 1000 bytes available space to the user.

ok thanks for the info The statusbar message appear as a tooltip until a file has a physical path, done by design. I did find that if you open a saved file, the path didnt display so I have fixed this issue. I can put the users name on the main window no problem.

I've never been a fan of in-depth .net programs running over the network, since the early days of .net v1.1 and v2 We also do the same and have scripted to copy EWP from network and launch from local machine.

From what I can gather VB.Net doesn't interface with/cant interpret applocker paths so I would have do is to fudge the variable in somehow... What If i was to detect the first plugged in USB drive if the variable %REMOVABLE% was used? would that be enough for you?

Hi Gareth, I will have a read up on this and see what I can do Regards Andy

Thanks for the feedback, my own school has been experiencing the first issue regarding the cover sheet printing. At the moment it’s seems like it has been in since the time I had to split between Cambridge and Jcq coversheets. I initially put it down to running EWP from a network location so we are planning in January to run it on each laptop locally, as I’m out of ideas as to why it fails now and again. I could not get it to fail but did happen to some students in the summer. How do you run EWP, local or network? With regards your second point, I will take a look and see what you are referring to. My initial guess is the path will only display once a file has been saved. So are you saying this is the case for you but takes a while for s path to appear after saving or opening a file? With regards point 3, I can do this but if someone launches EWP first and fills in the name on the candidate screen, this answers your query. Point 4, i will set a config option to start spell check on launch, consider this one done for the next release.... Regards Andy

Don’t want to make it too easy for the students :-) I doubt our exams officer would want to do this as they are busy all the time where they don’t even take a lunch break. I would definitely think about if more people requested it.

The signature can be disabled in the config. But to customise the headers would take some work from me. I will take a look as to how readable it is to do and report back :-)

Exactly what I was going to say [emoji1303][emoji23][emoji23]

EWP running over the network or on the local hard disk? Please also can you send me your config file if you have customised it. See what I can do for you :-)

If you disable Hibernation (CMD —> powercfg -h off) and make sure you disable deep sleep control like dell use.

Any more suggestions then I’m all ears :-) Always looking to give people what they want :-)

Hi Tom I can create an “export to RTF” option no problem as the basis of the examtext file is an XML file with RTF code inside it. As always this feature wouldnt be available by default, thus I will create a config option to turn it on so a menu item will appear in the FILE menu. The only problem with this it will only carry over the body of text, no headers or footers. This is why it might be better to have EWP installed. Any thoughts?

Hi Tom Thanks for taking the time use/test EWP. With regards your questions, here goes.... 1. Not at present but I can I could at the very least convert to RTF which can be opened in Microsoft Word. Obviously I would be interested why you would need to open it in Word instead of EWP. 2. This is something that is almost impossible for any software to do, as you would have to instigate a launch via methods like a task schedule that launches EWP on user login or add a shortcut for EWP to the startup folder in the start menu. There may be others like running a logon script that calls EWP at login. This decision is down to what suits your environment. I have thought about it myself for us but we stayed with standard desktop icon that user clicks on. Regards Andy :-)

Poe home spotlights are next!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] if so I’m in, no more lighting circuits is the future...

We still map printers via VBSCRIPT. We map printers for each people based on AD Group membership and location of the PC they are logging into. The printer connection itself is done via a .net exe I wrote which literally is this: rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /q /n "Path to printer" /u if that fails it calls it again after a 1 second sleep.

We map them twice with a small sleep/wait in between. Works for us!

your welcome :-)
