I have recently bought a new MacBook Air and have updated to the latest version of CDPedia. The changes were all done by my computer shop, so I am confident that everything was done properly. I've had to adjust the layout here and there and rename one of the Custom columns, but these are minor issues.
The problem I have now has defeated me. I have always printed out the latest version of each alphabetical page, so that I have access if the computer is not to hand. When trying to print out a page now, two problems occur:
1. Despite what appears on the screen, the version that is printed is a different one (though it includes additions made today.) The columns are not mine - and even include My Rating, which I have never used before.
2. I have tried adjusting the print size, but what was formerly printed on one page (40+ albums) now spreads onto two. Changing from large to small print makes no difference.
Neither of these things are earth-shatteringly important, but I'd like to get back to what happened before if anyone can help.

Re: Printing issues
Yep there seems to be a problem with the print setup panel. I have not been into this panel in years, yes years, so have not noticed this. The actual layout image is now covering the settings area. This affects all the pedia's. We will just have to wait for a fix.
Re: Printing issues
Thanks for confirming that it's not just me! In addition to the issue you mentioned, there's also this:
When I try to print my "G" page - with columns headed - "Title, Artist, Conductor, Orchestra, Label, Disc", the result I get has columns headed - "Title, Artist, Label, My Rating, Genre". This can't be an old format, since I have never used My Rating - yet the incorrect version includes the disc I added this week.
I wonder whether my computer expert somehow put the new version in the wrong place.
I also notice there's no way of adjusting the font size of a print-out, as there was previously. As you say, let's hope this can be corrected in time, though I've just noticed that it still appears on your attachment.
Perhaps I'm alone in liking to consult my printed out version of CDpedia. So much more calming than looking at a screen!

Re: Printing issues
Since you have a new computer with a totally new install of everything, have a read of this: Pedia Maintenance Practices. Particularly point 2.
If you have a backup of your old computer, try and bring across your Preferences files mentioned in Point 1 (Your Preferences are found here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.bruji.CDpedia.plist) and everything in your Application Support folder (~/Library/Application Support/CDpedia/) as mentioned in Point 2.
As mentioned in the above Topic, to check what database location the Pedia's is using, goto menubar: CDpedia > Settings > General and down the bottom of that panel is the Data folder location.
If you are able to bring across your backup files from TimeMachine or other backup methods and you have already added or altered your database then just exclude that from the over-write process.
Also have a read of this HELP article: Print Collection Plus you will see your own Print setup's will be stored in ~/Library/Application Support/CDpedia/Templates) As mentioned in the last paragraph of the help file concerning renaming the Print file, I just add My to it. So PrintingTable.html becomes PrintingMyTable.html
Cheers
