The (c) ... button dialog acted weird

[davidc86]

I tried to set up the (c) David C. Cook text for one of the DCC pictures in the project using the (c) ... button. In that dialog window, I specified the text and location of the notification, and then I selected the option to propagate this to all pictures in the series.

I got this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ptxprint\gtkview.py", line 5133, in onOverlayCreditClicked
AttributeError: 'Piclist' object has no attribute 'values'

PTXprint Version 2.6.5

I closed the error message.
Then

• I tried to click OK at the copyright dialog, nothing happened.
• I tried to click Cancel at the copyright dialog, nothing happened.
• I clicked on the X button, and it finally closed the dialog.

When I exported the PDF. PTXprint did place the (c) David C. Cook text on the picture I was working on, but it did NOT propagate this request to all the other DCC pictures in the project.

After exporting the PDF, I returned to PTXprint to add another (c) David C. Cook text to another picture (mostly to see if things were still working or not). It's now worse. The dialog won't open and I get this error message:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

PTXprint Version 2.6.5

I closed and reopening PTXprint and tried the (c) dialog again.
If I just do ONE picture at a time, all functions okay.
But when I try to "Apply to ALL images in this series" I get the same error message as the first one.

@davidc86 Thanks for reporting this. We have recently reworked the whole back end of the Pictures code, and there are no doubt more bugs to be ironed out. Keep looking for them :-)

You do realise that we don't need to have in image credits for DCC images any more (unconfirmed)

This works for me in 2.6.8 - please check if this has been fixed now. If not, come back to us.

[davidc86]

It kind of works.
I don't get the error message above when I click "propagate to all", but PTXprint doesn't remember the settings from one session to the next. (#986).

@mhosken said "You do realise that we don't need to have in image credits for DCC images anymore (unconfirmed)"
Yes, I've heard this is true, but to keep publications consistent with previously published versions, it would be nice to still have this feature. (And there could be cases where other artists would like their pictures so marked. So, it would be great to have it working again.)
