嗨 Tim,
“Layout Only”(仅排版)功能是一个相对较新的功能,是在上下文菜单调整(在 PDF 查看器中)成为可能之后引入的。其理念是,当用户调整段落(增加一行,或缩小以适应等)时,PTXprint 不应该需要每次都通过复杂的转换集重新处理所有 USFM 数据;因此它只运行流程中的排版部分(XeTeX)。
当“Layout Only”(仅排版)未选中时,顺序是:Processing(处理) -> Laying Out(排版) -> Finalizing(最终处理)

当“Layout Only”(仅排版)选中时,顺序是:Processing(处理) -> Laying Out(排版) -> Finalizing(最终处理)

另一方面,如果你更改某些设置,则数据必须(重新)处理,并且它会自动检测到这一点并执行此操作(注意在设置更改后的第一次运行时,复选框暂时采取的第三种 [-] 状态)。它足够聪明,能够注意到 Paratext 中的 USFM 文件自上次打印运行以来是否已更新,并确保它们得到(重新)处理。因此,理论上这一切都“正常工作”。
如果你担心它遗漏了更新,那么只需保持“Layout Only”(仅排版)选项未选中,并在每次点击 Print(打印)时多等几秒钟。
你需要知道的一个注意事项:PTXprint 不会自动更新 PicList(图片列表)。因此,如果你在 Paratext 文件中更改了详细信息(如标题或插图本身),则需要访问 Pictures(图片)选项卡并在那里更新内容。
希望这有助于你理解它是如何工作的。我们正在更新“documentation”(文档),主要是在 Tooltips(工具提示)中,也在 MASTER SLIDES 中,这些幻灯片也在为下个月在 EMDC 举行的培训活动做准备而更新。
Hi Tim,
The "Layout Only" feature is a relatively new one introduced since the context menu adjustments (in the PDF Viewer) became possible. The idea is that PTXprint shouldn't need to re-process all the USFM data through a complex set of transformations every time a user adjusts a paragraph (grow by a line, or shrink to fit, etc.); so it just runs the layout part (XeTeX) of the process.
When "Layout Only" is unchecked, the sequence is: Processing -> Laying Out -> Finalizing

When "Layout Only" is checked, the sequence is: Processing -> Laying Out -> Finalizing

If on the other hand you make a change to certain settings, then the data has to be (re-)processed, and it automatically detects that and does so (notice the third [-] state that the checkbox takes temporarily for the 1st run after settings have changed). It is also smart enough to notice if the USFM files in Paratext have been updated since the last print run and ensures that they get (re-)processed. So, in theory this all "just works".
If you are paranoid about it missing an update, then just leave that "Layout Only" option unchecked and wait the extra few seconds each time you hit Print.
One caveat you need to know about: PTXprint does NOT update the PicList automatically. So if you change details (like the caption, or the illustration itself) in the Paratext files, then you will need to visit the Pictures tab and update things there.
I hope this helps you understand how it works. We are in the process of updating the "documentation" which is primarily in the Tooltips, and also in the MASTER SLIDES which are also being updated in preparation for an upcoming training event at EMDC next month.
