Possible Bug Possible FPImposer v12.0.3 (macOS) Issue

[David Miller]

When opening an existing .fpi file, the PrimaryRepeat and SecondaryRepeat information is not retained. This is evident in the GUI as well.

Original ImpositionData:

Bleed=0 "
CenterLayout=True
CropMarkLength=0.25 "
CropMarkOffset=0.125 "
CropMarks=True
DiscardGutterC_0=None
DiscardGutterC_1=None
DiscardGutterR_0=None
FaceUpStacking=True
FlipOnShortEdge=False
HorizontalPosition=0 "
HSigOrder=LeftToRight
PagesPerRecord=1
PrimaryRepeatCount=1
PrimaryRepeatDirection=Stack
PrimaryRepeatDuplicate=False
PrimaryRepeatInfiniteStack=True
PrimaryRepeatSpacing=0 "
Rotation=-0
SecondaryRepeatCount=2
SecondaryRepeatDirection=Hor
SecondaryRepeatDuplicate=False
SecondaryRepeatInfiniteStack=False
SecondaryRepeatSpacing=0 "
SignatureRotation_0_0=0
SignatureRotation_0_1=0
SignatureType=Simplex
Slug=
SubstrateHeight=13 "
SubstrateWidth=19 "
TertiaryRepeatCount=1
TertiaryRepeatDirection=None
TertiaryRepeatDuplicate=False
TertiaryRepeatSpacing=0.25 "
TrimBoxHeight=11 "
TrimBoxWidth=8.75 "
Units=Inches
Version=4
VerticalPosition=0 "
VSigOrder=TopToBottom

Resaved ImpositionData:

Bleed=0 "
CenterLayout=True
CropMarkLength=0.25 "
CropMarkOffset=0.125 "
CropMarks=True
DiscardGutterC_0=None
DiscardGutterR_0=None
FaceUpStacking=True
FlipOnShortEdge=False
HorizontalPosition=0 "
HSigOrder=LeftToRight
PagesPerRecord=1
PrimaryRepeatCount=1
PrimaryRepeatDirection=None
PrimaryRepeatDuplicate=False
PrimaryRepeatInfiniteStack=False
PrimaryRepeatSpacing=0.25 "
Rotation=-0
SecondaryRepeatCount=1
SecondaryRepeatDirection=None
SecondaryRepeatDuplicate=False
SecondaryRepeatInfiniteStack=False
SecondaryRepeatSpacing=0.25 "
SignatureRotation_0_0=0
SignatureType=Simplex
Slug=
SubstrateHeight=13 "
SubstrateWidth=19 "
TertiaryRepeatCount=1
TertiaryRepeatDirection=None
TertiaryRepeatDuplicate=False
TertiaryRepeatSpacing=0.25 "
TrimBoxHeight=11 "
TrimBoxWidth=8.75 "
Units=Inches
Version=4
VerticalPosition=0 "
VSigOrder=TopToBottom

Note that the Substrate and TrimBox information did not change. I have not tested any of the other settings.

Yeah this has been a known issue. After opening I just drag the same file onto the imposer program in my dock and it will then open correctly.

Discussed here. Looks like it is fixed in version 12.0.3

Thank you. I saw the thread before posting. We are running FPImposer v12.0.3 on macOS v11.6 (Big Sur). We are still experiencing the issue.

Again, to be clear:

"Double clicking a .fpi file drops the PrimaryRepeat and SecondaryRepeat information while maintaining some of the other information in the file. For example, TrimBox and Substrate information in my case. I have not tested all variables to see what is dropped and what is read."

Again, thank you. I double checked. Indeed, once FPImposer v12.0.3 is running, double clicking the .fpi file, or using File > Open..., all information is read correctly.

I would still consider it a minor bug. Had me scratching my head for awhile.

Note: My signature is old. Updated info immediately below.
