Single recall postcards are broken with update

Post by afeuer » Mon Jun 13, 2011 3:20 am

Since update 7.8.13 the recall postcards with 1 card per page no longer works. The printable area has increased from 4x6 to 8.5x11. This is a nice update but it has completely broken the old system.

Behavior:
- Select 1 card per page in the recall setup
- Move the card down 2.125 inches so that it is in the middle of the page
- go into the recall list and hit print preview
- First card shows up on the left side of the page half way down like it is suppose to.
- The second card shows up directly under the first card, but cut off. (there doesn't seem to be anyway to actually get one card per page)

Workaround for anyone else who is in my situation:
- Select 1 card per page in the recall setup
- Move the card down 4.25 inches so that it is in the bottom left corner (this is the only way to get 1 card per page)
- print all the cards to a pdf
- crop each page down to a 4x6
- print the pdf like you used to print postcards
- this is a pretty crappy workaround, hopefully this will be fixed soon

I'll try to get that onto the bug list tomorrow.
