嗨 Tim,
「僅排版」(Layout Only)功能是一個相對較新的功能,是在 PDF 檢視器中的上下文選單調整成為可能之後引入的。其理念是,當使用者調整段落時(例如增加一行,或縮小以適應等),PTXprint 不應需要透過複雜的轉換集重新處理所有 USFM 資料;因此它只執行流程中的排版部分(XeTeX)。
當「僅排版」未選取時,順序是:處理 -> 排版 -> 完成

當「僅排版」已選取時,順序是:處理 -> 排版 -> 完成

另一方面,如果你對某些設定進行變更,則資料必須(重新)處理,它會自動偵測到這一點並這樣做(注意在設定變更後的第一次運行中,核取方框暫時呈現的第三種 [-] 狀態)。它還足夠聰明,能注意到 Paratext 中的 USFM 檔案自上次列印運行以來是否已更新,並確保它們得到(重新)處理。 因此,理論上這一切都「正常運作」。
如果你擔心它漏掉更新,那麼只需保持該「僅排版」選項未選取,並在每次點擊列印時多等待幾秒鐘。
你需要知道的一個注意事項:PTXprint 不會自動更新 PicList。因此,如果你在 Paratext 檔案中變更了詳細資訊(例如說明文字,或插圖本身),則你需要前往圖片(Pictures)標籤頁並在那裡更新內容。
希望這有助於你理解其運作方式。我們正在更新「文件」,主要是在工具提示(Tooltips)中,也在 MASTER SLIDES 中,這些也在為下個月在 EMDC 即將舉行的培訓活動做準備而更新。
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.
