Version: 2.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs It would be nice if the tags user unfriendly tags %u, %y and %f in the printer dialog header and footer tab would be replaced with a dropdown meny that shows the available options (%u, %f etc) to the user. The current functionality is nice, but not user friendly => hope to see it become user friendly in the future. -- Richard
Using Mandrake 9.1, with mandrake 3.1 RPMs, "WhatsThis" doesn't work in the print dialogue box: Shift-F1 works in kwrite itself, but appears to have no effect within the printer dialogue. Fixing this might resolve the report above.

Mh, using a sane window decoration, you will have a "?" button in the title bar of the dialog, which activates whatsthis mode. I have completion on my TODO, but it needs to work for parts of strings, so it takes a wee bit of thinking... -anders
I *may* be willing to add a menu to chose from at some point

Pushed by dhaumann into branch 'master'. print: add placeholders in context menu of header & footer Now, there are several ways to know that placeholders are available: 1. use What's This on the line edits 2. use context menu > Add Separator...

Thanks for fixing this bug / feature request. It's nice to see that bugs gets fixed especially when they are old (this one was reporte 8.5 years ago on KDE 3.1) :)
