RC4 Printer Setup crash in Mac OS

[j.w.]

Hi Juan - another Mac OS bug.  When I select Printer Setup, Pix RC4 crashes right away (no lingering death...).  Below are the first few lines of the crash report, let me know if you need the entire report.

Thanks,
John

Hi John, I think that it is an unfinished work.
See what Juan said in the announcement of RC4

Things not working / requiring significant development

* PixInsight's printing system works nicely on Linux. However, it doesn't work optimally on Windows, and is clearly deficient on Mac OS X, due to color management issues. We have to redesign/rewrite the entire printing system on these platforms.

Saludos, Alejandro.

Thanks Alejandro!  I had missed that.  I guess I'm not completely rid of Photoshop yet......

I can confirm this bug. Despite the fact that the printing section is a work on progress in the Mac OS X version of PixInsight, a crash is a crash, and should never happen.

I apologize for this issue. I'll try to fix it in the next RC5 version of PixInsight 1.8.0.

I guess I'm not completely rid of Photoshop yet......

If you really want to 'get rid of...', there are many applications that allow you to print an image on the Mac. For example, the standard Preview Mac application works very well for printing (I use it).

Thanks Juan!
