Also, very limited on profiles for certain printers. I know it's new, but I am always curious if the profiles are an after thought before they push out a new version.

VersaWorks 6 profiles are upward compatible to VersaWorks 7. Also, you can back up your 6 settings and restore them into your 7 version, and save a job in 6 and open it in 7.

CPU usage is insane. 1 business card size print takes 10 seconds to add/delete (in job queue) using four 12th gen intel cores @ 100%. Do I need 16-cores to delete a12KB PDF file?

There is no copy paste function for jobs, it just doesn't work. There isn't the quick color adjust for jobs as well. Which is super helpful. Going from regular profile to a soft profile was so nice. Also why is the interface so massive?

Everyone trying to do this CM5 is also like this. I still use CM4 because of this bonker interface. I think people will be on VW6 for a long time.

Does anyone know where we report bugs and broken features to Roland? I tried to find it, but there is nothing for VersaWorks7.

Has anyone figured out how to separate the copies, I try to move some away and it goes red, never had this issue with any of the other versions unless it was out of bounds or overlapping, something like that. Maybe there is a setting I can't find.

For anybody having performance issues. Do not backup and restore from Versaworks 6. Got 2 workstations working only after a clean VW7 install.

I get Qt vibes (QML anyway, if using JS as well, probably adds to it), and if it's Qt, it's been known to be performance intensive (can ironically be right up there with Electron). Gorgeous (at least in my opinion, big Plasma user here), but power intensive. If it's Qt 6, probably got some bugs to work out. I'm speculating though, just based on screenshots that I'm seeing.

I was excited to finally see a Mac version, but had to contact Roland to find out why I couldn’t get it to connect with my printer... only to find out VersaWorks 7 is not yet compatible with the Roland BN-20. It doesn’t matter anyway, because version 7 is horrible. I deleted it from my Mac and I’m going to delete it from my Windows computer also. In my opinion they simply pushed out VW7 way too soon! And it's awful sluggish also.
