Here are a couple bugs I have found with the Eplilog 64-bit laser driver. V8.06
I am posting these for a couple reasons.
1. I spend hours trying to figure out why thing were going wrong. Now I just do the work arounds. Hopfully this will save others this hearache
2. Seems like this a good way to get Eplilogs attention.
Bug 1.
When using color maping the default color red will not depict the correct color settings. IE say i have the first color red as 237,50,57. When I first load the new color map from a file it shows red as 255,0,0.
If you click on the fitst color to bring it over into the edit area nothing happens. So you think you have moved over the existing red color. When you move it back into the list the bad settings 255,0,0 overwrite the good ones in the list.
I spend hours trying to figure out what was going on here.
The fix is to touch the second color in your list then go back and click the first. Doing this resoves the issue.
Bug 2
I have a very large drawing with quite a bit of it outside the drawing area. I move pieces into the drawing areas to print them in the laser as needed. If I forget to click the selection only box on the dialog the whole drawing gets sent and things go very very wrong.
The driver gets hosed and can no longer be accessed. Also Corel get hosed and I have to kill the app.
The only way to get the driver back is to reboot the machine.
The fix is to make sure selection box is clicked. But some times I forget and now I know that I need to save my work and reboot the machine.
I suspect that Corel is also at fault for this bug. In any case the two do not play well together here. I dont know if its the off drawing area or all the layers that attempt to send their drawings.
