Description kdebugs 2005-10-14 10:39:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

The kprinter file dialog only allows to add one file at once. You can add multiple files only by drag&drop from another konqueror-window, but it takes time to find out. 

I wish to open multiple files within the kprinter dialog - and perhaps the possibility to add a complete directory.

Comment 1 Philip Rodrigues 2005-10-15 17:03:12 UTC

This feature appears to be available in 3.5 - there's an "add file" button, which you can use as many times as you like.

Comment 2 kdebugs 2005-10-15 17:20:22 UTC

The "add file" button is in KDE 3.4.3 too. The problem is: when you have a directory with 60 files to print you have to use this button 60 times and select in 60 dialogs one file each.

Comment 3 Philip Rodrigues 2006-02-11 19:40:39 UTC

Ah, I see. So the simple solution would be to allow multiple files to be selected in the Open Dialog there, which seems to be the correct thing to do anyway.

Exactly

Here's a (slightly tested) patch to implement this. Apply to kdelibs/kdeprint/.
Hope it's useful!
