ng-finder | AngularJS elFinder Twitter Bootstrap 3 Theme

I'm trying to optimise a large MySQL query. I accidentally found out that a query with all fields listed (SELECT Orders.id AS Orders__id, <...>; the default CakePHP behaviour) takes 4 times longer compared to a query with just SELECT * FROM - 0.324 seconds vs. 0.084 seconds; checked several times.

I'm wondering if I can disable this behaviour. I've tried:

• adding 'fields' => '*' to the find() options or calling ->select('*'), but it results in SELECT Orders.* AS Orders__* which throws an SQLSTATE[42000] error.

• getting rid of the aliased title with ->select(['*' => '*']) as per query-builder.html#selecting-data, but that results in SELECT * AS * which also throws an error

• using ->enableAutoFields(false)

I also tried to Google but I don't even know how to call this

OK. There seems to be a dearth of examples on this, and I am fairly stumped.

I'm trying to make a custom print page renderer; the type that completely customizes the output, not one that uses an existing view.

The really weird thing, is that I was able to do this in ObjC a couple of years ago, and I can't seem to do the same thing in Swift.

I should mention that I am using the prerelease (Beta 5) of Xcode, and Swift 4 (Which has almost no difference at all from Swift 3, in my project).

The project is here.

It's a completely open-source project, so nothing's hidden; however, it's still very much under development, and is a moving target.

This is the page renderer class.

BTW: Ignore the delegate class. I was just thrashing around, trying to figure stuff up. I'm not [yet] planning on doing any delegate stuff. In particular, my question concerns what's happening here:
