Just a bug heads up to the devs - not sure if this is the correct place to post.

 

I get a recurring prompt upon opening the ArchicadStarter as per the title and screen grabs below. Every time I select 'open project' or double click from the list BEFORE this prompt displays, the project will never open - it's a 100% occurrence. The cursor will just blue cycle until I force quit. If I cancel the prompt and then double-click open a project quickly it will open with no problem; if I wait a few more seconds until just before the same prompt shows up again, it will freeze again as above. Perhaps it's a Windows printer issue, but probably something GS should get onto as it disrupts the working day.

More recently a crash prompted the same message at the bugsplat window and it was unable to finish sending (or so it appeared) and I was unable to cancel out.

It 100% happens every time I start Archicad so I'm happy for a dev to get in touch and work through diagnostics for a solution.

 

Side note:

I'm unable to see & edit my signature while creating a new post to see if all the necessary info is there; i understand that it's located elsewhere, but I would put to the forum builders that a better location is at the bottom of 'create new topic' where it would load your signature and enable editing, and auto store it for next time. It can be kept up to date more easily that way.

 I thought i was the only one experiencing this since i did a full refromat of my laptop.  This is annoying including all the loading of sample projects in the home page. Hope they can revert back to AC27 style of opening files

Did you guys perform the Registry "hack" suggested by Oleksandra?

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Installation-update/Please-wait-for-printer-connection-or-cancel...

 

Here is the Registry entry in question:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GRAPHISOFT\ARCHICAD\Archicad 28.0.0 INT R1\PrintPlot

 

I would quit Archicad, change the Registry setting, and then restart the computer to ensure the setting is applied.
