In developing this application which I initially designed for my own use after I saw that there was hardly any plug n play bluray cover printing software out there.

This is a simple plug-n-play program which will print out the bluray cover to exact measurements, this is mainly for people that need to do replacement bluray covers such as rental shops or pawnbrokers, also games shops etc.

Can you try it, if you will use it and let me know how I can make it better, what features could I add to this?

[Detector]

you probably have smartscreen on your pc, it might block it as unknown publisher. click more info and click "run anyway" this will let it run all the time, stupid system

[macmilm]

Yeah it did come up saying Publisher was a known 'cunt' so I was unsure what to do ;-)

[Detector]

I dunno if its a feasable option, and not that I will ever use it anyway but could you add a disk printing option? Back in the day I used to have to load the epson printing prog for the disks, and then whatever I liked at the time for the covers.

Would limit the "Open File" list to just image file types ;-)

[Detector]

@909 yes I should be able to do that m8, not sure what you mean though. all I would need is the dimensions in cm or pixels and I could make something up for you.

@akimba cheers m8, have been doing this late nights (around 3am) when I have spare time so might have missed 1/2 things like that.

[Detector]

thanks for your feedback tho lads, its had 215 downloads and only a couple of feedback!!!

[Detector]

@akimba, v2.1 fixes the open file bug

[demonology]

Only just seen this Detector, will give it a try.

I design bluray and dvd covers as a hobbie, however i very rarely use disc printing as i print covers to replace damaged, scruffy or awfully created retail covers the companies put out.
Normally use Photoshop to print covers so this software could become an essential part of my programmes list

Probably be able to help improve on it aswell with idea's.

[Detector]

thanks for that m8, I really appreciate your feedback.

I made it initially for my own use because there was no easy bluray cover printing software out there, this sorts the correct sizes and prints in portrait so the covers are always spot on.

@demonology

actually you may be able to help me m8, ive been searching for a proper bluray cover for Mrs Brown Rides Again, I bought it for the missus for xmas and the dog chewed the top corner so ive replaced the case but the label is knackered, I don't suppose you have seen it on your rounds have you?

[demonology]

just checked on the sites i'm on but no mrs browns covers on them i've tapped up a few mates to see if they have it and can do a cover scan for me...

[Detector]

appreciated buddy

dont do anything for me mate! I havnt printed anything in about 5 years, it was just a suggestion. I used to do a lot though and I went zen on them with printable disks and shit. I always found using the official app that came with my printer to be a lesson in blindly adjusting measurements to get absolutely perfect results and not underprinting the disks. It used to drive me nuts if there was an uneven white ring around the edge of the printed area
