Duplicate Annotations - Build 322.4

Post by Arnold »

It looks like the ability has been lost to offset by pages when we duplicate annotations in Build 322.4.

Hi Arnold,

That's really strange, this is what I see:

Can you try resetting your settings (Edit --> Reset Settings).

Thanks,

That is what I see also. Screen shot 1 is 322.4 and screen shot 2 is 321.0.

Sorry Arnold, had a 'senior moment' (30 years too early). I'll take that up with the Dev. Team now!

Hello Arnold,

That possibility has been replaced with the pages range that is much more versatile.

Cheers,
Alex

In the previous version I could specify the duplication of the annotation x times and offset every x pages. It was quick and simple. If I am understanding this correctly, I now have to go in and type the specific page numbers if the subset is something other than odd or even.

Could there be a subset item for offset every x pages? This would cover my need to offset every 3rd page.

Maybe I am just missing something here.

Hello Arnold,

You can select needed pages in the Thumbnails view. If you need every third page, just resize Thumbnails view to show 3 pages in a row and select to the bottom. We discussed this when we were remodeling the dialog due to feature request and the range provided to be much more versatile for usage in majority of cases. Adding the offset would overflow the dialog and the range does the job thus the offset was removed completely.

The duplicates are now per page selected in range and also are the offsets.

Cheers,
Alex

I guess that works, but it seems to me to be a lot less intuitive and a lot more time consuming. If I had a big document and wanted to duplicate an annotation every 3 pages, it would be quite an exercise. With builds up to 321.0, I did not have to ask any questions. I think one more subset could have covered it all without crowding the dialog box.

Just my perspective on it. I am sure glad I do not have to duplicate these annotations very often.

Thanks.

Hello Arnold,

We will try to morph these two functionalities together for the next release.

Hello guys,

I've mixed the two functionalities (old one and the new one) - this should be available from the next release:

Note that the dialog itself may differ from this screenshot.
