Description Maciej Pilichowski 2007-10-04 19:56:44 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)

This way user could select some files, maybe then gwenview could show the dialog with the list, so the user could change the order (just came into my mind), and then create pdf from those files.

hmm, as far as i can say you can do that already. Install kipi-plugins, select the photos you like, use printwizard plugin and print on a pdf printer.

I tried printing to pdf on other occasion -- it is much weaker solution than merging files directly. Why? Because you have to setup page size manually.

If you convert or merge file, app doing this, know what size to set.

Printwizard gives you the availability of choosing different layouts of printing,
but yes you must choose the page layout first.

Merging -- putting 100 jpg files into 1 pdf file (each jpg is one page exactly, I mean 1:1, if jpg is size of A17 the pdf would have A17 format pages).

So this is still not as fast to do as it is possible by doing the same thing manually (ImageMagick). My wish is to do it even faster (not slower) and with modern GUI.

Can you provide the command you do by hand for that please?

TIA

For example:
convert Image\ 000* x.pdf

The print wizard plugin can do all this now (even printing one image per page).

This problem is not reproducible with new HTML Gallery tool implemented in
digiKam core version 5.7.0.
