Hi, 

I have some problems with the print assistant... 
- pictures are not allways placed correctly, I tried to print 20 pictures with 9*13cm on A4, so there were 5 pages, the first the pictures were correct, but on all the following, there were the correct 4 pictures, but they were placed like if there were 8 (so they were half the size) and placed on the postions 1,2,5,6
- "Don't crop" option doesn't work for me. It just disables the right frame, but the images are still cropped...
- Filenames are only put to the first image on a multiimage page
- Let me put an usability enhancement: having selected several images to print, there is the possibility to reorder them, but when changing the order by up or down, the cursor focus changes, so you have to refocus the file and change again one place... thats a hassle if you want to reoder say 20 images... two buttons for the top and bottom position would be nice, too.

Anyway, it is a really nice tool, and I like to use it very much, thank you!

greets, mike

Mike some problems you've described should be fixed now, other should be
considered as upstream and you should see them working by using qt 4.5 and kde
4.2 i believe.
If you think something is not, please open a bug report explaining all the steps
to reproduce the problems.

Thanks in advance,
  Angelo

With new PrintCreator from digiKam core version 5.7.0, avaialble in AlbumGUi,
Image Editor, LightTable or Showfoto, this problem in not reproducible...
