Turning them off does not change anything - still unable to print either...

Solved. Issue resolved, printing now works.

Turn off logos in your print preferences, we're having issues w/the way the logos are accessed. Once that is fixed we'll let you know. But by turning off logos you'll be able to print your collection.

I have today just tried to print my collection to PDF and after selecting from what I want to print, paper size, and orientation the print progress popup appears stating "creating PDF together with an error message " mPDF error: IMAGE Error (http://www.airlinelogos.net/albums/l...nsa-1955.gif): Error parsing image file - image type not recognised, and not supported by GD imagecreate" so I'm unable to proceed. Help please.

[Robert Wycoff]

Understood. Thanks.

Printing does not currently support user submitted model photos. It is on our to-do list; it would only print these in the event that we have not supplied a photo.

[Robert Wycoff]

Hmm. My PDF printout does not include pictures I have submitted. They are in the data base and they are in my collection view.

[Robert Wycoff]

Thanks for fixing the printing of my custom models.

[Ops Manager]

Robert Wycoff pleaes email info@diecastmodelaircraft.com we will need to login to your account to fix that. From what you posted we cant tell what model it is having an issue with.

I can't print my Custom Models. I get an error of
mPDF error: IMAGE Error (http://www.airlinelogos.net/albums/): Error parsing image file - image type not recognised, and not supported by GD imagecreate

I probably said it before: If someone really wants to download the entire database, they can do that already. It only takes a few lines of code, which is easily available. It's like any other website.

Not encouraging it in any way!

I could certainly do that, and in the absence of DIMA I would, but I would not do both and I would prefer to be a member of the community here.

The database protection seems to be a Loss_aversion based argument (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_aversion -- humans will spend 10 times as much to avoid something bad as to get something good). Yes theoretically somebody could go through 1064 pages of models and on each page click got it, then click outside the javascript window to dismiss the dialog and then export the database with a total of 64852 clicks, but dima could easily limit collections or collection export to 80% of the current number of models. but having the safety net of an export, might make many more people with personal databases willing to participate in the community here.

Folks - What opsmanager has said is very true for a .csv export of the data. Someone can completely download the special database that these folks have created working possibly several hours a day.
I can suggest a few things to help . You can use MS excel to maintain a list of model . Initial Creation time will be difficult but as you have done that once , you can just simply add to the sheet.
Those with MS Access experience can easily do a database themselves and the templates given in the software . I have built my own and initially it took time but I was able to enhance and make it quit robust for my use . Yes initially it took me several days to update the data but as I buy I keep it updated.

if you don't want any fancy stuff them excel or excel type alternative available for your use free
