    Hello- Still love Tapforms after all these years. My first ever feature request:

    – Add a % scale option to the print dialog box

    Why? Because I’ve found that screen resolution and print resolution often don’t get along very well. For those times I’m trying to print, it would be awesome to be able to scale the print size down.

    That’s it. Keep up the great work.

    Thanks!

    Hey MrBill,

    Yes, that’s something I should try to figure out. I explicitly didn’t add the scaling option there because when I did turn it on during development, I ran into some terrible rendering problems when I scaled the printout. So it was one of those, “I’ll deal with it later” things that I never got back to.

    Thanks!

    Howdy Brendan- Sounds good. On the importance scale, I’d give it about a 3. I sort of have the same reaction… Its a nice to have. Is it worth tons of work? Not sure. Guess it depends on how many others are in need.

    I think this has become more interesting as we’ve ventured into deeper and deeper dpi. This has created a huge chasm between print and screen.

    Thanks! Keep up the great work.
    – Mr. Bill
