Since 0.76: Printing custom sizes is broken
Hi all,
since upgrading to 0.76 today, printing customized paper sizes (set up via Devices and Printers -> Print Server Properties) does no longer work properly. While in Page Setup the correct paper size is shown, it won't be used afterwards, i.e. the last standard size is used for preview. When printing, the customized size IS used, however with the last standard size in mind, e.g. only the upper level will be in the printout, since the aligning followed the standard size.
Reproduction:
1. Setup custom paper size via Devices and Printers -> Print Server Properties
2. Open something to print and select print.
3. Select Page setup...
4. Change size from (here: A4) to custom size (e.g. 10x10, as set up in step 1.)
5. Preview in Page Setup will show the new layout.
6. Back in the print dialog, the new paper size will NOT be shown, instead it is still the one selected before (here: A4).
7. Printing with a PDF printer will result in a custom sized PDF, but it will be most likely be massively cropped.
Windows 8.1 Pro, 64 bit / qvPDF
I never experienced this problem with the previous version(s?). Only custom paper sizes seem to be affected.
[EDIT]
Reverting back to 0.75 did not solve the problem. The only thing different today is an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC update that installed today automatically. Yesterday it worked fine.
[UPDATE]
Reverting back to 0.72 DID solve the problem. I assume that's where I wanted to revert back to in the first place.

Re: Since 0.76: Printing custom sizes is broken
Adobe Acrobat updates reset my file association for the PDF extension from Nitro Reader to Adobe every time, so that looks a likely explanation...dergilbwillspam wrote:Reverting back to 0.75 did not solve the problem.

Re: Since 0.76: Printing custom sizes is broken
I would not call this a similar problem. Restoring file associations is something an updater might be inclined to do. Furthermore, printing custom paper sizes with build-in applications like "Photos" or "Windows Photo Viewer" works the way I expect it to. The problems are connected to XNView MP. For now, I would rule out Adobe as the culprit.cday wrote:Adobe Acrobat updates reset my file association for the PDF extension from Nitro Reader to Adobe every time, so that looks a likely explanation...

Re: Since 0.76: Printing custom sizes is broken
I just tested it on another machine (Win 7 Ultimate, 64 bit). Same problem:
After upgrading from 0.72 to 0.76.1 I experience the same problems as on the other machine. The problem seems to start with versions greater than 0.72, as reverting back to 0.72 'solves' the problem.

Right, it's a bug in Qt API, i'm waiting that they fix it...

Now with 0.80 it's broken again.

Re: Since 0.76: Printing custom sizes is broken
It stopped working again since 0.91. But I guess there's nothing you can do about it if it's a QT thing.

which printer do you have? i can reproduce for some size...dergilbwillspam wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 10:58 pm It stopped working again since 0.91. But I guess there's nothing you can do about it if it's a QT thing.

Re: Since 0.76: Printing custom sizes is broken
I mostly use custom paper sizes with "Microsoft Print to PDF" that comes with Windows 10 (here: Pro, v1803, x64). But I just tested it with a Ricoh MP C2003 with the same result (that is, it doesn't work with the latest two versions of xnView MP. With 0.90 it's working).
That's DIN A4, but it will show the same (=last chosen standard size) for custom sizes:

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.93. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
