Description A 2006-12-03 19:14:11 UTC 
maybe theres allready a way to do this... I couldn't find anything

if there was a way to print a worksheet without opening the whole gnumeric aplication it would facilitate printing many files in a batch via some script (especially when the files are large and dont open very fast). This would be especially useful for making pdf files from the many similar gnumeric files I need printed. usage would be something like this:

gnumericprint [options] worksheet file output

[options]:
            could include many things
worksheet
            the name of the worksheet to be printed
file
            the name of the file the specified worksheet would be found in
output
            the output file, be it ?.ps, ?.pdf, etc...

This is under development as part of the 'RenderedRegion' work.
Doing with gnome-print is something of a pain.
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2006-12-05 02:50:41 UTC 
This would likely go into ssconvert in the form of save-as-pdf
or save-as-ps.

Note, though, that files wouldn't load any faster this way.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

It's still a bit primitive, though.  No options can be set.
