Description Nick Thompson 2005-08-19 16:29:52 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.90)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-42) 
OS:                Linux

Often it is useful to be able to print only a small part of a file. This is usually achieved by selecting the region and then printing. With no region selected the complete file should be printed as usual.

If you click the 'options >>' button in the printing dialog and then the 'text 
settings' tab, you will see that there is a checkbox labeled 'print selection 
only', which is checked pr default if you have a selection.

Okay, I see the option, but it is not selected automatically when I have a 
region selected. If it was , that would be exactly what I'm after. But its a 
bit obscure, if I have to check it myself.

I'm using Kate in 3.5-alpha1.

We'll have to look into why not then, that is how i designed it :)

Uh, perhaps I have broken that, as in 3.5 the selection moved to the views, or?
Comment 5 Nick Thompson 2005-08-22 11:20:29 UTC
I had someone else try it in Kate 2.4 on KDE 3.4.0 - on the same OS. That 
print option is also not selected there when a selection region is active in 
Kate.

In KDE4, selecting text causes the print range 'Selection' radio button to be enabled in the dialog and choosing this prints only the selected text, but I think the original request was that in the print dialog that the Selection radio button be defaulted to on if text is selected.  If desired, this can be achieved by adding:

if ( doc->activeView()->selection() ) printer.setPrintRange(QPrinter::Selection) 

just after creating the QPrinter but before creating the QPrintDialog in KatePrinter::print.

Don't have a KDE3 install to check behaviour under that.
