KG-Chart blog

I have just released the updated version of KG-Chart.
The fixes are as follows:

• Some printers couldn't print the chart correctly.
  
• A printer setup window didn't save the setting and caused KG-Chart not being able to preview/print.
  
• When showing the print preview window, a parent window will be hidden.
  
• Some non-English characters causes KG-Chart not being able to open a file.
  
• Now you can change the print margin.
  
• Now you can specify the pages you want to print.
  
• When the grid is large, sometimes the page number was over-wrapped.
  

I have created the KG-Chart User's Manual.
You can access the page from here: KG-Chart User's Manual.

Writing a user's manual in English is a tough job for me as I'm not a native English speaker, and I bet there are many strange sentences in the manual. I'll correct those gradually, but I'll release it anyway so that at least you can see what/how you can do using KG-Chart.

If you have any comments, please let me know... Thanks!

On next release, Windows 2000 will be no longer supported.
The reason is:

1. Microsoft is going to end all of their support on Windows 2000 in July 2010.
   Windows 2000 End-of-Support Solution Center
   
2. Microsoft no longer adds any new functionality to Windows 2000, that means it's hard to utilize new features those are available on newer windows for KG-Chart.
   

I guess nobody is using Windows 2000 any more, so I hope it should be OK...

I'm going to release a fix for KG-Chart soon:

• Some printer can't print a chart if you chose "copy"
  
• When using other paper size other than the standard paper sizes listed in KG-Chart, the preview will disappear and can't print.
  

Either cases, if you print only one copy or select the paper size in KG-Chart, you can print without problem.

Also, I'm adding two new feature along with these fixes:

• Being able to specify page numbers you want to print.
  e.g. 1,3,6-8
  
• Being able to specify page margins.
  Some printer offset margins, so with this functionality you can adjust the print location.
  

I'm hoping to release a new version this year...
