I have just downloaded this great little program for printing mailing lables etc. from the address book, callediDress. This is the perfect from my needs, except that UK (A4) Avary label sizes are different from there US counterparts (if I can get it to do UK labels I WILL DEFIANTLY buy a product key). The App does have a load new templates option but this just opens there web page. I bet this app has as much chance (of quickly) supporting non US standards as Sherlock 3 does, so I need your help.

All the Templates for the labels are stored in the Resorces/ReportTemplates directory in the .app package each size in individual directories, the Templates themselves are in 2 part's one XML doc (plist tags) and one .rpt file I am able to edit these and have created a new set of mailing label files by modding a duplicate of an existing template (.rpt file can be modded by using ReportMill). The problem is the new template doesn't appear in the app Is there any way I can force the app to 'see' the new label template dir. The app itself is a Java app with a OSX gui wrapper.
Any sort of help would be marvelous (why oh why did Apple not include Print Labels in the Address book app?)

Have you even tried contacting the person that wrote the program? They want your money. If all you are asking them to do is support a different size, it should be INCREDIBLY easy... if you wrote the source code.
