Recent commentsI found this to work quite well. I noticed that anything that saves a filename uses an absolute path, so you can't create a glabels file and give it to a different user and have it work. This applies to pixdata as well as merge file names. It would be useful to have an option to have path-names stored as home-relative names ("glabels/merge.txt" rather than "/home/username/glabels/merge.txt").
Aside from that, I like it very much.

Hi Sanguine
Any chance you could pass onto me the XML for the panduit labels? I've got a pack of LJSL5-Y3 label's I need to print up, and for the life of me I can't get them to line up on my printer.
thanks
Excellent Software
I created a template for Panduit patch cord label sheets in about 10 minutes and the labels printed perfectly on the first try. It saved me from having to buy Panduit's software.
Curves
Nice project. I would like to have text align with a curve as in a round cd label because it's hard to get all the text to fit using a square box. Another nice addition would be the ability to pull in a cd cover image and track info via cddb automatically. All this would be for the round label, not the jewell case which is a waste of time IMO. This is the best labeling project I've tested in Linux yet.
great product - a few suggestions
glabels is a great product. It would be nice to be able to center objects vertically and horizontally on the card/label/etc.
Also, have you thought about including some default .glabel files so that I don't need to do the layout myself? Perhaps these could be released in a separate tarball.
Once again, this is a great product.
