Please allow us to skip the login page every single time we open preform.
I have never logged in, and I will never log in. Our printer works completely locally. I have no use for any online functionality, even if our IT department were to allow it.
With the most recent update you guys removed the ‘skip’ button under the login screen and moved it to a way less obvious ‘X’ in the top right. This is not an improvement.
I’m pretty sure I saw a thread talking about this same issue a while ago, and now it’s basically become worse.
Just a simple toggle in the settings would be enough.
Hello, this was an (embarrassing) mistake on our part, Skip button will be back in the next version. For the record, the X button was always there and you can also press Esc to close the dialog.
A toggle would still be much appreciated. As I will never be logging in the whole login screen serves no function to me. I’m fairly certain we’re not the only ones operating this way.
And software from other printer manufacturers doesn’t ask for logins every single time either, so it’s not like it’s an industry standard.
The general frustration of NOT having a production-oriented software package is… very tiresome.
languishing startup/quit dialogs
needless bullsh!t views/issues on the printer interface
complete lack of any production oriented printing mode or interface for production printing
EVERY time I have to wait for bullshit dialogs to go away so I can move to repeat a print, or click the ‘did your print go well?’ page, I’m severely tempted to start punching NO on every single one, because that would actually f***ck the metrix enough that somebody at FL might start to pay attention.
I don’t. yet. Because I try to do the right thing. And I had thought that was in process (and, if i punched the “no”, then I’d be presented with yet another bullshit annoying dialog forcing me to click thru..while i’ve got resin-covered gloves on, trying to avoid damaging the screen).
But the chance of that becoming a trend is not zero.
Seriously. it does not help FL at all to waste the time of production users. In fact, it hurts the long term reputation and brand, if FL is actually interested in growing marketshare.
