I’ve looked back at this routine, I write it in 2004 and it hasn’t been updated to support all the changes to the database since then at all. I believe that there were updates to the printer objects in OSX at that time that made me interested in playing with printer output. At this particular moment I’m more likely to just remove it rather than open the can of worms of trying to get it’s output to support all the different things we do now. 

I understand that the ability to describe your database and save off the addresses of things might be useful, but I just can’t get this to come up to the top of my list of important things to work on. I might be able to do something like a CSV output of all the data which you could import into a spreadsheet and then format to your liking? Or I can just expand the columns and add one for interface. I’ll have a look when I need a break from the big projects and see what I can do.

More date formatting. But you do find that the manage global scripts window now sorts properly even if it is displaying the date in relative format rather than an absolute format? There are problems with resorting that window to keep it updated in date format, it loses the selection and jumps around then which makes it very frustrating to actually get a script highlighted to edit in. I can work on that of course and sort it out. But more date formats wouldn’t go amiss.

Thanks,
