Title:
GIMP: Embed page setup dialog functionality in the print dialog
Status in The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP):
Fix Released
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
In Progress
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gimp
There is a possibility of embedding the paper size combo and orientation
combo in the print dialog since Gtk+ 2.17.4. It is activated by calling the
gtk_print_operation_set_embed_page_setup() function.
It would be nice to have this feature also in the GIMP, as photos do not have
an
absolute size. You select the print size of a photo only when you actually
print it and photos are often printed on sizes which are not the standard size
of the printer (4x6 inches/10x15 cm). So the page size and orientation should
be easily accessable during the printing action, which means that they are
best
placed in the printing dialog.
To implement this one only needs a small patch doing the following
things:
- Remove the "Page Setup" menu entries (and toolbar buttons)
- Remove call-back functions to open the "Page Setup" dialog
- Add call of gtk_print_operation_set_embed_page_setup() function to
initialization of print dialog
- Add calls to load page setup setting on print dialog initialization and
save them on OK/Print/Apply in print dialog (to remember next print dialog
call or even next session).
