I might agree if that were the case, but the actual circumstance is
quite different.
The issue at hand is here:
<http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14814>
The specific syntax reported to be non-working is:
print card from <SrcRect> into <DestRect>
The problem is limited to the dest rect only; specifying a portion of
the card to print with the source rect is working fine.
If the dest rect is a different size, setting the printScale can be used:
set the printScale to 0.8
print card from 20,20 to 500,500
If the dest rect is the same size, that clause isn't needed at all and
this will do the same thing without error:
print card from 20,20 to 500,500
So we can:
- print the full card
- print a specified portion of the card
- print the whole card at a specified scale
- print a specified portion of the card at a specified scale
What we can't do with that version is to print a portion of a card at a
scale while also altering its proportions.
Even though it's evidently enough of an edge case that the number of
people posting about is about three, the team recognized the value of
it, confirmed it under an hour, and fixed it within a couple days, with
delivery anticipated for the next build.
Why the merge wasn't included in v7.0.4rc1 is something I can't answer.
We'll have to wait for someone from LiveCode Ltd. to advise on that.
