Still on the subject of generating code "on the fly" through MC scripts,
I'd like to insist on a feature I'd really like to see in further versions
of
MC (I already mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, but surprisingly
nobody reacted to it) : the possibility to download the content of a
handler (textfield, script, custom property, variable...) to any PS
printer
available on the network (just like you send data to a "socket").
The idea is to generate "on the fly" PostScript or PDF files and send the
data to a PS printer, and thus increase MC printing capabilities by
several
orders of magnitude. Of course, this feature should be available on all
platforms (AFAIR it's already available on the Unix version of MC).
I'm not sure how many other MC users would be interested in that
feature, but believe me : you can achieve wonderful printings.
And you don't even have to master PostScript programing : this feature
also allows you to download ready-made PDF or PS files (from Illustrator,
Photoshop...).
