Strange MOVIE MAGIC SCREENWRITER 6 problem
Strange MOVIE MAGIC SCREENWRITER 6 problem
After some trial and error, I have managed to install MMS6 under Wine 1.2 and it works great in every way EXCEPT... pages are 22 lines each, making a standard screenplay of 100 or so pages into a 280-ish page document. Every other function I need seems to work fine, but I can't find any way to chage this wacky page break thing. Has anyone else installed MMS6 and dealt with this problem? Thanks in advance.
Re: Strange MOVIE MAGIC SCREENWRITER 6 problem
I've only tried the trial version, but I haven't seen this problem there (and I just checked in 1.2). It defaults to 55 lines per page for US Letter-sized paper. Are you sure you don't have some small paper size selected?maca wrote:After some trial and error, I have managed to install MMS6 under Wine 1.2 and it works great in every way EXCEPT... pages are 22 lines each, making a standard screenplay of 100 or so pages into a 280-ish page document.

Thanks for the response. As luck would have it, I figured it out myself just about the time you answered. I realized that my printer wasn't configured properly, and it's all good now. I never dreamed that not having a printer configured in linux would make the MMS program make all pages the wrong length. But it's working great now, thanks.
It IS working much slower than in windows, however. I type a word and then wait as I watch the letters slowly appear onscreen. Is this to be expected when running through Wine?

Not usually. A decently running app should run (almost) just as fast as in Windows. If it lags behind like that, something isn't implemented very efficiently or even at all in Wine, causing the lag.
You could file a bug on the problem if it doesn't already exist on bugs.winehq.org. Make sure to get some terminal output of the application too; especially check if new terminal output is generated when you type something in the application.

Winetricks msxml4 will get rid of that error message. http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricksmaca wrote:When the program opens it give me an error about "OLE 80004001", but when I choose to either send or not send the error report, the program runs. Are there perhaps library files I need, or something?
That shouldn't be happening. I don't get any lag here with the trial. Try disabling desktop effects. If that doesn't fix it, run it from a terminal and post whatever messages appear. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminalIt IS working much slower than in windows, however.
