How are you printing these labels? Doesn't the glabels-batch-qt command solve this issue?
sorry, I'm using the gui, not the batch executable.
The feature i'm talking about, it was present in "BarTender" a paid labeling software.
Edit:
i double-checked "man glabels-batch-qt"
and i can confirm that there is no mechanism to instruct glabel to iterate X time a label record.
You can:
-c <n>, --copies <n>
Set number of copies to <n>. (Default=1)
given a .glabels project file,
but that generate a whole copy of the project, it has no control over the single label creation.
You must have csv like this: " RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT " to have 3 "rabbit" labels
when you could just have:
" RABBIT,3 " to print 3 identical labels, given the second column parameter (to be properly assigned, to a special "QTY_VALUE", new method)
Hello there.
I noticed there is no way to tell glabel to iterate on printing the same label X times.
Let me show an example.
CASE: you have a populated spreadsheet with products. (eg. a BOM from a CAD/CAM software.)
you have rows of data with tons of colums; the ones that interests me are IDs and Quantity, so let's strip all of them but those two.
let's assume those rows:
ID - QTY RABBIT - 10 HORSE - 2 FROG - 50
if i want to print 10 labels for RABBITS, 2 for HORSES and 50 for FROGS i have to manually create 10,2 and 50 rows with matching names.
We sure need to bind that QTY value to printing quantity, the same way we do assign a text to its ${MERGED_DATA}
