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.
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.
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.
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
