Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Archlinux Packages At the moment you can only select one page range in the KDE printing dialog. For example you can print from page 10 to 15. I would like to see the option, to print multiple ranges. So I´m able print from, say, page 10 to 15, 20 to 22 and 28 for example. With most programs this is possible, sadly KDE seems to have lost this feature. Especially when "printing" PDF files this would become very handy!
In KDE 3, there was a textfield for page ranges, where I could do exactly that: "10-15,20-22,28". This textfield had a nice tooltip explaining what you had to insert there. With KDE 4, this isn't available anymore. Here, you need to create one print job for each page range, and because the printer dialog doesn't have user definable default values (printer, duplex, ...), printing has become a tedious task for me. KDE 3: 1. Print... (using my defaults) 2. Range: "44-63,75-81,90-100" 3. Print KDE 4: for r in "44-63" "75-81" "90-100"; do 1. Print... 2. Select my printer 3. Options > enable duplex printing 4. Set page range r 5. Print done
Hej, this functionality will come back soon in Qt, see http://www.layt.net/john/blog/odysseus/swimming_upstream Ciao, Tobias
