Description tps 2013-06-14 21:49:09 UTC
It is impossible to export or print a map larger than the area shown in marbles window.
It is impossible to export or print a map at a certain scale (aka 1:25000 or 1:50000).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install marble, then go to any place in the world available.
2. Select "File -> Print …" or "File -> Export …"

There is no way to select the area to export/print and no way to select the scale to export or print at.
Actual Results:  
No way to select the area to export/print and no way to select the scale to export or print at.

Expected Results:  
There should be a way to define the area to export/print and a way to select the scale.

Maybe this was not found to be really necessary, but it would be quite convenient if you need parts of a map offline and without carrying a laptop or smart device with you. Maybe because there is no electricity around maybe it's because of weight.

from some other program – how it could look like

It is possible to select how you want to select the printed/exported area (Window, Printers paper size (the visible area in the window is assumed to be centered on page), By mouse rectangle (pull up a rectangle using the mouse), by mouse clicks (define a rectangle by clicking the upper left corner and the lower right one), or by giving the upper left and lower right coordinates), and the scale to export/print at (some common scales are predefined, but you may define your own).
Some functionality like this could make marble more useful for a lot of people!
