Is the reason Wine emulating Windows cannot access that? I don't know - I only use Wine, I didn't write it :-) .... remember, Wine is multi-platform itself not specific to Mac.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 132, Visits: 632	Shifu (4/29/2016) Is there a way to include support for PDF printout in the Wine installation, such as including Ghostprint? I've done a bit of reading around this - in theory it should be possible, but looks quite problematic. It doesn't look like anything needs to change in the Wine wrapper - just need to find a suitable PDF printer to install on the Mac like CUPS-PDF .... so feel free to experiment and see if you get it working!

Missing it (or not knowing, that there is one) prevented me for some years to use SD (so I used AirNavigation instead). But now, things changed. Thanks! Christian

Is there a way you know of to for it to use the whole screen? I can't click and drag like a normal window - it's currently 'locked' to a small size. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 132, Visits: 632	rikur (2/5/2016) Shifu (2/5/2016) Any real reason why the new Version is using 1+GB on HDD instead of the 570MB the SD3440 wrap did? Hi Shifu, it has grown because of the inclusion of .Net 4 libraries - as the new version of SkyDemon prompted that it needed .Net 4 during installation. However, Tim's just suggested that this was probably unnecessary, so I will try a version without .Net 4 in due course ..... probably won't be today though .... got to do some paid work today ;-) R This is now back down to it's previous slender 571MB size :-)

Group: Forum Members Posts: 6, Visits: 59	Tim Dawson (2/3/2016) "SkyDemon do not recognise this" What were you hoping to achieve by writing that? I think he was expressing an opinion that its a shame that SkyDemon still does not offer native support for Macs, especially when so many people ask for it and would use it. Will SkyDemon ever be ported to Macs? SkyDemon is an amazing program and I absolutely love it, but please please rethink your stance on support for Macs rather than relying on kindly 3rd parties to port their own versions.
