Printing selected files via filemanager

Submitted:  Feb 14 2007

Description:

Sometimes I have to download an print some documents (pdf, odp, doc, ...also images; actually everything that can be printed). I know that everything should be printed, so I don\\\'t have to look at the files in detail.

Currently, you have to open the appropriate application for a document and then you can print it. This is bad.(Or is there an easier way?)

I want to select all the files that should be printed via filemanager and choose \\\"Print\\\" in the context menu. Then every selected document gets printed. I don\\\'t want to open the specific app...

This would be cool. Of course, doing it this way, some default settings are used.

What do you think?

I haven't thought like this. But it could be handy at times, yes.

However, I would still want to look at the files to ensure that they're right.
Do you think it should open a dialog asking which printer et.c and show preview, or should it print directly?

Well, showing a preview of all the files means also to load (?) all the files?! (I don't know how it is exactly with different file formats).

So for a big number of files such a preview would take some time. But I think it's ok for small amounts. Probably it would be the best to let decide the user via 2 context menu entries ("Print", "Print..." or so) or an option in control center.

As you mentioned "preview" I thought of this new upcoming document viewer - okular. Probably this applications could make such a preview for several files - but of course it can't handle all documents (it's not for images?!).

Some time ago I filled in a wishlist in bugs.kde.org asking for that same thing thought in a more generic way.

That is allowing, not only the file browser but any application (or app developer) to print any file using a system wide setting. In kde probably the KTrader C++ class should be used:

I think that this problem has already been solved, but only for certain file types. Support should be expanded, as you wrote, for all files printable.

I use KDE 3.5.6 from Fedora Core 6 (with all optional KDE RPM's installed graphically through Add/Remove Software). I just checked on this item in Konqueror. I could right-click on plain-text files, .doc's, and .htm's, then go down to Actions > Print.... A dialog window came up wherein I could select the machine or format (Print to PDF, etc.) that I wanted to print the file to, and select various options; with the .doc file, I could also click a checkbox to see a preview before printing, though this was not true globally. Also, the Print.. button is not available under the Actions > menu for PDFs or .png pictures, for some reason.
