Possible FPImposer v12.0.3 (macOS) Issue

Recommended Posts

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.

 

 

Edit: It seems that I am unable to edit my signature information.

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.
