Michael, I've completed field filtering (only numbers allowed now) and bounds checking in the MarginView class and fixed a bug that flipped the margin bottom and right values when you set the page to Landscape. I have also completed the saving of settings of the SetupMessage to ~/config/settings/pdf=5Fwriter=5Fsettings for the PageSetupWindow and MarginView. I save : paper=5Frect printable=5Frect pdf=5Fcompatibility orientation pdf=5Fcompression units Before I commit this though, I have a question about the other settings you wanted to save, in the JobSetupWindow class=3F I forget what your last message said. I also want to add a new class, PDFWriterSettings, that does all the work of loading and saving the settings. Right now all this code is in the PageSetupWindow class and if JobSetupWindow needs it then it should be in a seperate class. Please advise... Also, what was that other thing about a progress bar control...=3F --------------------- Simon Gauvin, Dalhousie University gauvins@xxxxxxxxx
