Currently people who have set all their formats to use metric find themselves with typesetting programs such as LibreOffice producing "letter" formatted documents instead of A4 that's standard around the world. Changing the format requires writing a value to /etc/papersize, but the discoverability of this option is quite low. The discoverability of this setting in SystemSettings will be much higher and thus it should be exposed here. The minimum two options should be "letter" and "A4". Setting the region to anything except USA and Canada should set this value to A4 as well. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open SystemSettings 2. Go to Regional Settings 3. Go to formats OBSERVED RESULT There is no option to change the paper size. EXPECTED RESULT There should be an option to change the paper size SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 19.10 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0 Qt Version: 5.12.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION According to https://linux.die.net/man/5/papersize, valid values include a3, a4, a5, b5, letter, legal,executive, note and 11x17. 1928028 1 nate 2020-05-07 14:35:49 +0000 Interesting idea. I like it. 1991490 2 nate 2021-01-06 00:07:22 +0000 Looks like this will require adding support for reading and writing the LC_PAPER environment variable. 2112536 3 nate 2022-03-22 02:28:37 +0000 *** Bug 451128 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2123040 4 akselmo 2022-05-12 18:21:39 +0000 I could give this a try as my first contribution :) 2123042 5 nate 2022-05-12 18:30:36 +0000 Sounds great! Might be wise to wait until after https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1147 has landed though, as that merge request changes basically all the code. You can CC yourself on its progress by going there and clicking the little switch by "Notification" on the right sidebar. 2123043 6 akselmo 2022-05-12 18:31:28 +0000 (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > Sounds great!
