Added new features: Fixes: - now generates a png image for each PDF page. - stay on Saved Games folder for users with DCS.beta. Added: Get aircraft name (from DCS folder) and current date-time and fill in the fields AIRCRAFT_NAME and PRINT_DATE (both fields must exists on template). Default name for output files with aircraft name and date in filename, but can be edited. Support for buttons with modifier (only 1 modifier). The fields must be named with "MOD-" prefix along the base name (ex.: MOD-JOY_BTN10). Suggestion: set another font color in those fields on template.

Hi Miguel,
Thanks, it is nice to read someone using this app and like enough to update it :)
Don't worry, I'm not a (professional) java programmer either. This was a learning project to get a feel for Java programming. Come to think of it, it was my first and my only Java program :D Sometimes I thinking about to rewrite it, but then feeling disappers so quickly :D Mostly because it is still working.
Actually that function is just for a simple quick export. As I suggest in the manual: use the DCSkneeboard with the injected PDF, that program make image from all PDF page and also insert it to the perfect aircraft folder. Check the steps in the manual!
The templates only a demos, you can make your own - actually I strongly suggest to make yours! Then you can use any font and color, image etc.
Thanks for the modification, sounds good! I'll test it occasionally and if it works reliably, I'll be happy to include it in this project. Cheers, |
Hi Bunny,
I find this utility very useful. Although it seems outdated is still working.
I'm not a professional developer (yet) but I can read and make some code.
I created a fork to upload some changes:
- Now generates a png image for each PDF page. (original code only prints the first page)
- Stays on Saved Games folder for users with DCS.beta instead of "folder not found" message,
- Gets aircraft name (from DCS folder) and current date-time and fill in the fields AIRCRAFT_NAME and PRINT_DATE (both fields must exists on template).
- Sets a default name for output files with aircraft name and date in filename, (but can be edited)
- Support for buttons with modifier (only 1 modifier). The fields must be named with "MOD-" prefix along the base name (ex.: MOD-JOY_BTN10). Suggestion: set another font color in those fields on template.
If you consider those changes can be useful feel free to merge them with your great job.
Regards,
Miguel
