Description Rod Carlson 2008-07-05 03:33:54 UTC
Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux

I've been using openSUSE 10.1 and really like KSNAPSHOT ver 0.7.  I just installed openSUSE 11.0 and KDE 4 which has KSNAPSHOT ver 0.8.1 and the print button is missing with this version.

The print button was deliberately removed when the Open With... button was
added.  Although no explanation is given in the log, I guess this was because
the other apps have more powerful print/editing facilities.  If you have kde3
installed you can also open with... kprinter which is effectively the same as
Print... supplied.  (kprinter will hopefully be back in a future version of
kde4 too).

the print button is not back in 4.1 RC1

lets reopen this bug and consider it as not user friendly 
Comment 3 Richard Moore 2008-07-28 09:45:08 UTC
Lets not, this was a deliberate decision for good reasons.
Comment 4 Philippe Rigault 2009-03-17 13:25:17 UTC
Yes, sadly the Print button is gone, which removes 80% of the reasons to use Ksnapshot for me.

No wonder that with nonsense like this, people are not rushing to KDE4 (to say the least).

Print is Print. When a user has a printable document open through _any_ interface, then he needs a 'Print' button to print it, period. When he needs to save, then there must be a 'Save' button. Interface 101.

> Lets not, this was a deliberate decision for good reasons.
And what would be a good reason to remove the 'Print' action in a interface to a printable document ?

Life under KDE4 is hard enough already, don't make it impossible.

On current trunk is possible to enable PrintSc to ksnapshot. It should be possible on KDE 4.3 too.
