I upgraded to 5.5 last week and everything is great all the new stuff, but,
I work with very large amounts of raster files and now I am unable to print
them in a productive manner. We upgraded from 4.5 to 5.5, this was because
that 5.0 dealing with raster did not allow the transparency overlap, so we
went back to 4.5 and everything was fine. When we heard that 5.5 had cured
this problem and worked with rasters in a different way we were real happy
and could not wait to the upgrade. Well I am not very happy anymore. I can
not print any of my large files. If I print through the printer I need to
start the print in the morning and maybe get it the next day if it does not
hang. If I print using the "in computer" so that I will not run out of
memory, I get the message that I do not have enough hard disks space to
finish the process. I work off a server and my hard drive is 4 GB and I
still do not have enough to finish a plot. Why did Mapinfo have to change
things from Version 4.5, everything worked fine then. I sent a print that
has roughly 60 USGS raster quad maps in it from MapInfo 4.5 and it spooled
approx. 2MB and it took about 5 minutes to process and then started to
print. I sent the same exact file in MapInfo 5.5 and it spooled for about 3
hours and processed 2GB of data and never printed because I did not have
enough hard disk space. When a upgrade comes out I am assuming that things
are suppose to be better and faster, well that is not true in this case is
it. And we all know about the word ASS U ME. If anybody knows if there is a
cure I would greatly appreciate it, or I guess I will have to keep a version
of 4.5 on a extra computer so that I can print but then that creates a whole
new set of problems dealing with taking workspaces from higher to lower.
Someone please help. And all replys about ProPress or HyperPress do not
bother I have went down that road as well. I say lets bring back 4.5 part of
Raster back to 5.5 and leave it alone.
