Description Giovanni Venturi 2004-12-27 16:29:22 UTC
Version:           0.1.0 (using KDE 3.3.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10

If the "Create Calendar" for Digikam plugins could for example use 2,3 or 4 months per page (so with just a photo) could be nice.

Can you please draw an example layout for this suggestion?

Looks to me like it's too much data for one page...
Comment 2 Giovanni Venturi 2008-12-08 18:52:02 UTC
Well. It's simple to understand and I don't know to implement it how is 
simple/difficult. If you want you can point me on the piece of code to do 
this. I can try to give a look and if it's "simple" and I have enough time I 
can try sending a patch.

Generally to create a calendar with 12 months you need 12 images. But some 
other times immagine you can have just an image with all 12 months on the 
same page. Of course on a A4 page is not so good, so you need a bigger 
dimention page to print it.
Another possibility is to have 2 months per pages, so 6 image for all the 
calendar (jan/feb, mar/apr, may/jun, jul/aug, sep/oct, nov/dec) .
Another, but less used is to have 4 or 6 months on the same page so yu can 
have 3 or 2 images for the calendar.

Do you still need an image that explain all? I hope I've been clear enough in 
my explanation :) . If you need let me know.

All right, I get the point. I'll try to do it.

If you want to take a look at the code, it's not very long :)

I think I figured it out, though it works only on linux (it's a CUPS feature).

Please try building from svn, and tell me if it's working for you.
Comment 5 Giovanni Venturi 2008-12-17 20:30:08 UTC
the version for kde4, right?
Comment 6 Orgad Shaneh 2008-12-17 20:40:40 UTC
yes.
Comment 7 Giovanni Venturi 2008-12-17 23:36:47 UTC
I just compiled digikam trunk and kipi-plugin trunk, but I can't find the options I asked you. Can you explain me how can I print all the year calendar with just an image? What did I lose?
Comment 8 Orgad Shaneh 2008-12-18 05:13:22 UTC
Oh, I got you wrong. I thought you meant the n-up (pages per sheet) option, which is now available on the printing options (there is a pushbutton which expands the dialog). This option should print n months with their n images, but on one page.

Now I understand what you mean. I'll try to do it.
Comment 9 Giovanni Venturi 2008-12-18 12:50:35 UTC
I don't know if I can help, but tell me. I really don't know how much time I can dedicate, but in case I could try help. I did in the past with other bugs/whishlist I can try again :) .

Giovanni,

This file still valid using kipi-plugins 2.4 ?
