New Print Dialog

So I’ve been tracking pl’s New Print UI stuff (details) with an eye to merging it with the Gtk Print Dialog extensions we carried for a while in Fedora. Hacking in the UI part of it today gives custom tabs something like…

Writer


Calc

Math

Impress


Spreadsheet UI tracks the gnumeric-alike workaround of placing the “print workbook sheets” stuff into a custom tab.

    The dialog is currently changing since UX (Christof Noack et al.) decided how it should look like. Stay tuned :-) But for a native dialog that will only mean some checkboxes gone/added. Incidentally Till Kamppeter from OpenPrinting wants us to a) migrate to PDF output and b) use the common printing dialog as a native binding on Unix.

    Not too sure how to parse “use the common printing dialog as a native binding on Unix.”

    There is a new “Common Printing Dialog” that is supposed to be used on Gnome and KDE (or so I understood) that works together with CUPS.
