'PrintPreview' command in popup for V8

Back in V7 I assigned ‘PrintPreview’ to my MMB popup. This toggles print display on and off with a click.

Now in V8 I’ve assigned ‘PrintDisplay’ to my MMB, but this is a much slower way to achieve the same effect, needing to navigate through ‘state’ and ‘toggle’ to get there.

How do I now create the Print Preview command in V8 ( !_PrintDisplay _State _Toggle _Enter ) and then assign it as a button in the popup menu?

Use the scriptable version of the command with a dash “-” in front of it.

This should work:
!-PrintDisplay S T Enter

Since you’re running in English, your can ignore the underscore “_”.

How do I create the button that can then be dragged into the popup bar? Or is there another way of getting a command into the bar apart from the CMD drag method?

Open the popup menu and drag its title to keep it open.
Click the Gear icon and choose “New toolbar button”
New Command, etc. fill out the settings to your needs.

No gear button visible for me:

Running V8.5.24…

What do you think @John_Brock is this missing from V8 Mac? Should I just pack it in and get a PC?

Okay, Mac…

  1. Tearoff the Popup toolbar
  2. Right-mouse click in an open area and click “New Toolbar Button…”
  3. Leave New Command selected and click Next
  4. Add your macro and preferred settings: “!-PrintDisplay S T enter”
  5. Next Next Finish

Voila!
