Page Breaks

I've been using Hypersnap for some time now and find it very useful, especially for web pages, where most browsers are pretty hopeless at producing a reasonable print of a page.
One thing I've never found how to do (so I guess it's a suggestion for an added feature) is to control page breaks in images that stretch over more than one page. Hypersnap is completely indiscriminate, and often cuts lines of text in half, making them difficult to read.
If it were possible to do this, I'd suggest using the Print Preview mode, which would then need to display all pages, not just the first and the last.
Keep up the good work!
Mike

    Unfortunately I don't know how to do this. HyperSnap has only an image of a page, all it knows are color pixels and has no clue, which ones are text, background or other images embedded into such page. You could eventually use the horizontal split of images to cut it manually into pieces that would fit on one page, but that would be a lot of manual work.

    Thanks, Greg. Yes, I see the problem. I assume, when you send the image to the printer, you don't include any page breaks, but just leave it to the printer to sort it out based on page size/margin settings, etc.
     
    It wouldn't be a perfect solution, but how about a 'Print Selected Area' facility, to work like the Crop function, but non-destructive, so that you kept the complete original image and could take 'several bites at the cherry'. In a program that handled long documents, it would be a bit of a pain, but for the sort of purposes that I, and I suspect most other users, use Hypersnap, it would be an acceptable way of producing a tidy ptintout where that was necessary.

    Maybe it would be useful too, but the functionality already exists. Try e.g. the "Image" - "Split" function I suggested. You will have the original intact in one tab of the window, plus two split images in the next two tabs. You can print then and then close these extra tabs while you keep the original.
    You can also mark a rectangular region with "Select" button on the "Edit" tab, then click "Copy", "Paste" button down pointing triangle - select "As new image". Now you have a new tab with what you selected. Print it, then close this tab, while the original image again remains intact.

    I'll try those and see which works best for me.
    Many thanks for your help.
