PageStream 4 is an application I use very often but now it has somme problems with OS 4.1. For example, I can't import any picture in a document. Any clue to solve this ?
I use PGS 5 pro and had a problem at startup under OS 4.1. The pgs screen was set under the "screens prefs" as a clone of th WB, but it started to crash at startup with a total freeze of the whole computer, so that I had to press the reset button.
I had to remove from the list in the "screens" prefs and now it works (with an ugly oldstyle mui gui). It imports the graphics as before (the pgs 5 ppc version can't still import jpg, everything else works perfectly)
In fact, PageStream 4 doesn't like the new ASL requesters. It makes it completly unusable... And no, PageStream being in the black list doesn't solve anything.

When Deron switched to MUI for PageStream 5, I didn't bother to upgrade because it is unlikely that MUI will ever be updated on OS4.xx. PageStream, BME & Pageliner all open on OS4 style screens without using the "Screens" prefs. I just select "New Public" in Pagestream/Screen Preferences and I get an attractive OS4 screen (like WorkBench).

Since PageStream 4 seems to clone WorkBench by default maybe some of the new features like "compositing" are a problem. Have you tried turning off that feature? Have you tried changing the ASL prefs? My copy of OS 4.1 is still on the way but I'm going to be really pissed if PageStream doesn't work. Over the years I've spent far more for PageStream upgrades than I did for OS 4.1. I can't believe that OS 4.1 would not have been beta tested with a major application like PageStream so there must be a solution.
I've found a solution. You must deselect the option "Force" in the ASL Prefs. And now PageStream 4 rocks again !
I don't see a "Force" option in OS4 ASL prefs so I assume that it's another new addition that I will have to disable. I'm glad PageStream 4 works with OS 4.1 I wish my copy would arrive. It was sent 5 days ago. It must be on a slow flight over the Atlantic ocean.
Although it is not really complete, Pgs5.0 is very useable. The real drawbacks I find are : a refresh bug (whenever you move the sliders inside the window the display is corrupted and you have to hit F10 in order to get back the real display) and it can't import jpg images. For printing, it only does postscript, but I save pdf and print with amipdf. I use it every day an do all my work with it.
