Description Jowanni Swoboda 2009-04-22 00:11:23 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

first of all i would like to thank the contributors to kde for their work.

it would be nice to be able to select pages in okular (in the preview bar) in a similar manner like you select files/folders in dolphin (the + or - sign in the left upper corner). this would be helpfull for printing only specified pages.
personal note: since upgrading to kde 4.2.2 from kde3 i have been using dolphin a lot and liked (among other things) the way to select files. when i used okular for the first time i intuitively tried to click in the upper corner to select specific pages for printing.
an additional nice feature would be something like reverse selection or "print non-selected pages". in my specific situation where we (in the office) use a color laser printer for "high quality" printing and a b/w laser printer for low quality b/w printing (printing quality is set to low by the admin to save money). thus we are asked to print most of our stuff in b/w. However sometimes some color figures need colorprinting so i would like to be able to send those to the color printer and the rest should go to the b/w printer (calling the print dialogue two times)

thanks

In fact, it would be nicer if the KDE4 print dialog supported selecting/deselecting arbitrary pages, for example in a preview mode, althought I personally will be content with specifying the page numbers and ranges manually as it was possible in KDE3.
