HQ Card Maker

[Teldurn]

Microsoft word has a function where you can generate a bunch of customized documents or envelopes by using a template that pulls data from an xls or xlsx file. Companies use this mail merge to print out a bunch of the same letters where it's all the same except for, like, the name and address fields.

Your program does the same thing, but with HQ cards.

I have a program made specifically to run with that some guy made. Its not bad, but not much faster than using photoshop.

It could be nice to have a word like that for those who don't want to play with settings. But for someone who knows the settings, as me, I wouldn't change it.

This seems to be causing me much trouble lately and I don't know why. Today I got this when trying to run the file. I haven't touched a thing since the last time I ran it, and last time it was flawless. What's going on?

There is a combo box called Orientation, and it takes values "european"/"american". In your case this combobox is empty and it throws this error. Choose one of these values.

If you still have a problem, print screen the window with your options to see what is wrong.

No dice, same issue again.


Here's my steps taken to recreate this error.
1. Load HQ Card Maker(get this error, hit Continue)
2. Click "Load" and select the Excel file, hit Enter to confirm.
3. Get this error again, despite "American" being already chosen there.
4. Commence Look of Disapproval: ಠ_ಠ
5. Take screenshot, upload, and then make post on Ye Olde Inn, hoping Patroclus knows how to save the day. Otherwise, I'm looking at a bit of a slog to spend a lot of time copypasta-ing cards one by one.

Edit: I think it's not loading the font size values for some reason. I could be wrong, but I thought it did that automagically.

lol, sorry Teldurn. I hope this will help.

Before checking anything else try to press continue to the error messages and put the following values as on the picture bellow then press "to File" and check the "c:\1.png" on your pc:

Thanks, I will try that.

Also, I noticed that settings.ini is empty, but the backup file (.bak) file has actual settings available. Is this normal?

No, it's not normal. The settings.ini should have values. You can copy-paste the .bak file into settings.ini and save it... But if you put the input as on the picture above and press "to file" button it will update the settings.ini automatically.

Oh no!
It seems that the link is broken...

Would someone be able to get a new/working one? or just send me the file? or something.
I really liked this program and sort of need it for a project I'm working on.

Any help would be appreciated.
