The FIT program has made significant progress in recent years, but the printing feature remains the last aspect that could make the program complete without the need for external applications to facilitate printing. Is it possible to work on improving the printing format within the program?
Hallo MOHAMED AIT ICHOU,
Thank you for your suggestion.
The answer is "Yes" and "No" at the same time.
It depends on how we do it.
Maybe try TiTiTo. There I used an "easy" variant (but even that took several hours to code). You can print the timetables correctly there. I did it there by implementing a whole web browser.
Sadly it has same big disadvantages:
The file size and memory usage increased very much by that. So users with very old and slow computers might have problems.
Also printing is slower. Not too critical for modern computers, but there are still many users using old computers.
And the biggest disadvantage: I need to use another compiler for that under windows. For TiTiTo it is not critical, but for FET that is critical, since the other compiler is much slower if you generate timetables :-(
So that will be a bad variant for FET. So it should be coded manually. That is very much work and critical. I won't code that without being paid. I hope you can understand that, because I coded many 1000 hours on FET and never get a donation so far.
I know also Liviu won't do that critical work for free. But you can write Liviu a private message by this forum or an email and you might talk to him about how to pay him.
Or maybe if other guys read this: Please donate to Liviu. We highly need to get donations, since we must pay for computers, servers (the forum, download, ...), current, ... We must also pay If we want to eat.
If enough guys donate for that, we will code it of course. (Of course if only 5 guys donate each 10€, then it is much too less.)
Thank you very much for your efforts. I understand the situation and know that programming requires a lot of work and equipment, which in turn needs support from users. Every year, we post on private Facebook groups about the need to support the programmer to continue the work. We hope that a large number of users can contribute even just $20 per year, which may seem like a small amount to us but is crucial for the programmer.
Hello, Mr. Mohamed Ait Ichou,
I made this, I hope. Please get the snapshot and test: https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/test/
I also added a Snapshots topic about the new features.
I need you to check the HTML timetables on the disk and in Printing from the interface.
Please let me know as soon as possible, because I intend to release even tomorrow.
I just want to mention, that it was only possible like this, since I was able to check and bugfix a bit Livius work, since I have got holiday at the moment.
And Liviu is unemployed and was working like maniac in the last days.
He started working on FET after he woke up at home and he already wrote me mails at around 06:30 in the morning and I got a lot of mails during the whole day until late in night. Sometimes I even got the last mails after midnight at 02:40 in the night (or should i say early morning?)
So please donate to him and test carefully all tables.
