Virtual Drive Manager
When you use the "Send Images to Printer" on page438 Action task in a given process, you
have the option of, at the same time, sending the images to the virtual drive (a local storage
folder used by PlanetPress Suite applications) of any computer included in your network. You
need to do this, for instance, if you plan to run PlanetPress Suite documents that contain
dynamic images on those computers (using the Optimized PostScript Stream option). You can
then use the Virtual Drive Manager to see the images that were downloaded to your computer
as well as to delete them from your virtual drive.
To add images to the virtual drive, use either of the following methods:
l Send a single resource file to the printer: see "Download to Printer" on page418.
l Send one or more images to the printer: see "Send Images to Printer" on page438.
l Use PlanetPress Design: see the PlanetPress Design User Guide.
To delete images from your virtual drive:
1.
In the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon, go to the Tools tab, then click on Virtual Drive
Manager.
The Virtual Drive Manager dialog box is displayed. It lists all the images currently stored
in your computer’s virtual drive.
2. Select the images you want to delete.
3.
Press the Delete key.
The Debug Information pane
The Debug Information pane displays the current values of variables and other information
useful in debugging processes (see "Debugging and error handling" on page98). It is divided
in 4 sections:
l
Job Information: Displays the Job Info variables, as well as the job's file name, size, last
edit date and presence of metadata (see "Job Info variables" on page716).
l
Local Variables: Displays all the variables local to this process (see "Local variables" on
page723).
