You haven't used it, you've had no training, but you don't recommend it anyway? :wtf:

Still using it here, and loving it. Has some quirks but mostly part of the learning curve. Haven't blown any jobs due to using it, really either. Just operator errors :)

No, I meant I don't recommend trying to use it without any training.

Edited to add: I have used it and it's not easy in the transition from 5 to 6 without knowing the ins and outs of it so that's why I don't recommend it without some type of training. I wish I had gotten some training.

yeah that almost never happens....

Don't recommend any preps 6 without some sort of training either. Nope.

I do have the training DVD however and could post it somewhere for download if anyone wants self-training.

I have FTP space if you need it.

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

hoping for some bugfixes. It's got some strangeness sometimes, particularly with it not displaying the correct press run (form) selected in the press runs pane.

Kodak actually wrote that script I asked for and gave it to me, it so far is not working on mac (probably user error or something with my mac) but worked flawlessly on windows. It's a little rough as in no front end for it and you have to manually edit a line or 2 in the actual script for each template you convert.

What it does:

Takes 1 preps .tpl file with multiple signatures and splits it into multiple .tpl files named what the signatures inside the original .tpl file are called.

Why:

Because Preps 6 does not allow you to edit a multi-signature .tpl file, it assumes that you will do all this by assembly in preps 6. You can make, modify, and save traditional templates in preps 6 as long as there's only one signature in the file, so if your workflow in the past consisted of saving multiple sigs in one tpl you can go forward with saving your templates in your library this way, just make folders named what your old .tpl files were called and pretend.

They asked me not to share it and I won't for a while until I've ran it on our library of envelope conversion templates.

Not sure I fully understand. I can see and edit all of my signatures in a .tpl file in Preps 6.1.1 I think. I'll try it later this evening.
