Hey everyone 🙂
I made a little TFX application 🌪️!

I love having things neat and tidy, so I love having labels everywhere on my stuff:
• Around my Desk:
• On folders (trying to get rid of these, but)
• On my drawes with my Computergear, Cables, Soldering stuff, 3d Printing stuff etc...
• In the Kitchen
• labels inside my freezer where i have different herbs and some veggies
• labels on Tea
• labels on Spices

I had used inkscape for that task before - but there were several inconveniences that made me not like the workflow anymore:
• Slow program start
• simply too many features for my simple use case
• I used Groups with cloned label-content (there will be labels that i need printed multiple times) - that was a bit cumbersome

So I wrote a simple application with the sole purpose to create labels, output a pdf-document that can be printed.
It's still very basic, but if any wants to check it out, let me know 😉

Very nice. Does it work with Dymo label maker? I tried for a while to get it working and never could get it to print out correctly.

Oh, I don'r know Dymo label maker - Ill check it out 😉
But I just uploaded the source on github:
https://github.com/IARI/label-creator

So in case anyone hast feedback on the project, I'd love to hear it of course.
One known Issue as of now:
The page-format currently always displayed in pt, no matter what

[iari]

@jchildress I understand, that Dymo is a company that produces labels, label-printers and related prducts. I assume you are talking about a specific label-rinter from dymo then? Since I do not own any such dymo device, I do not know what specific requirements to be able to print with these would be. If it Is sufficient to produce a PDF document with the appropriate page-format, then the application should work with it.

[jchildress]

Sounds good, thank you.

[iari]

If you would want to try it out, I'd love to hear your feedback 🙂
