Warpspace Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I want to know if I have accidentally performed a non-proportional scale, so I'm happy there is a preflight option for that. There are some circumstances that I actually need to scale images non-proportionally. I currently have to choose between turning off all such warnings (which I need for other things) and living with a permanent warning in the preflight menu. Could you please provide a facility to specifically ignore individual warnings/errors so that I can actually use the preflight panel. Same goes for other warnings/errors, such as image DPI too low (sometimes I have no choice with that). fde101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 You can create different Preflight Profiles to tell the software which problems you want to ignore and then select the Profile you want to use as necessary. The example in my attached image shows how you can tell the software not to warn about DPI issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpspace Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Thanks for that. I am aware of this, however I still want those rules to be there for most cases. I just want to ignore specific instances of warnings/errors but leave everything else still checked. E.g. I want to catch all other cases where I've accidentally scaled things non-proportionally, but just not a few where I need that feature.

So, basically, an Ignore button in addition to the Fix button when an error is reported? So you could Ignore a specific instance of an issue?

MikeTO Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 +1 I'd like a feature to ignore individual instances of a warning or error without having to disable the rule. It's not the highest item on my wishlist, but it would save a bit of time before exporting to PDF, having to review all the spurious warnings each time.

GarryP Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 If it were possible for the user to tell the software to not report a specific Preflight issue instance, and that seems like a reasonable thing to ask for, how could the user later tell the software to start reporting it again? Or, to put that another way, how could the user review the specifically-ignored Preflight issues to see if they had told the software to not report a Preflight issue instance that is now important? Or, from a slightly different view, how can the user tell the software to start reporting a specific instance of a Preflight issue again if the user mistakenly told the software to not report it? (Mistakes are easy to make so how can the user recover from a mistake they might not realise they had made?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpspace Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 I suppose there could be 2 ways of doing that: The preflight menu could have a section for hidden warnings/errors, perhaps with them all being grey; or An option be included in the appropriate menu for the issue. So if it were a scale issue, there could be a normally-hidden entry in the Transform menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTO Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I agree, a toggle command named Show Ignored Issues could be added to the panel menu which would list them in grey text or with some sort of indicator beside them.

Can you explain further please? If it were a sizing error, such as either Non-proportional or DPI Too Low, the place where you would manually fix it is the Transform menu/tab. There's a nice piece of space there that would be great for unhiding errors or even showing them in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 That’s called the Transform Panel. That’s not where I would normally fix any DPI/proportionality changes for images, and I don’t think it would be a good place for showing preflight issues or dismissing them.

Warpspace Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 Yeah, I'm starting to think the first option would be better - having an ignored issues section of preflight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
