Title: CrossFire not printing puzzle name
Post by: DWeisberg on June 16, 2019, 10:47:19 PM

When I try to print the NYT Submission format of a puzzle in CrossFire, the title of the puzzle doesn't appear anywhere in the document. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the way it works? Any good workarounds? Thanks in advance.

I expect that Crossfire does not print the title because the NYT does not include a title as part of the puzzle specifications. In order to verify, I created a test NYT submission on my Crossfire app and achieved the same result as you. Looking at the configuration of the application, the NYT submission is not a configurable item so I do not think you are doing anything wrong.

Also, just for a lark, I created a .puz file (AcrossLite) and then went to Crossword Nexus at https://www.crosswordnexus.com/apps/puz-to-nyt/ and processed the .puz file through the API to create a NYT submission. I got the same result as from Crossfire.

Hope that helps.

That makes perfect sense! I should have thought of that.

Thanks very much.
