I'm trying to print a multiple page report of images. Each page is a basic contact sheet, 4 x 4 grid (columnar report). Super Container appears to be loading (something) for each image on each page. The report is an average of 25 pages and seems to process. However, I am getting gray blocks in the print out that say "Connecting to Super Container" vs. the expected images. It's as if SC does not have enough time to display the thumbnails properly during the print process. Any thoughts?

Filemaker does not wait for web viewers to load when you are printing. This means that it isn't waiting for SuperContainer to finish loading either!

There are a few things you can do to work with this.

Option A) Use the style=noapplet URL parameter along with the width and height of your web viewer to load SuperContainer in noapplet mode. This display mode does not use the java applet, and will load significantly faster, though you won't have the drag-and-drop functionality of the applet (but you don't really need it for printing, right?)

Option :) Use the SuperContainer Companion Plugin to download the images you are going to be printing in to unstored calc container fields. Set the calc field as a container and use the SCGetContainer function to get images of the size you want. FileMaker will wait until everything has finished loading before printing because it's in a container field.
