GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 113294
Random icons in the print dialog.
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The paper details, and appearance tabs have these two seeminly random icons that don't really convey any information. Should probably be removed.
without gutting this dialog, maybe it would be better to just steal gedits print dialog that actually does useful stuff with the icons.
Gedit uses libgnomeprintui for that dialog. xd2 has a patch which adapts the galeon print dialog to use libgnomeprintui, and i've already contemplated porting that patch to ephy. But: that dialog is not very HIGgy, and libgnomeprintui seems not to be very actively maintained (only a few checkins over the last 3 months -- the core gnome 2.4 hacking period), so i'm not at all sure that this can be remedied in time for gnome 2.4.
Higgify it doesnt seem like difficult and we could do it. I'm not sure to like that UI in general though :/ How xd2 deal with some of the options not available in mozilla ? If there is a decent solution for that maybe we should just go ahead. It's the default gnome dialog after all ... we can ever improve it. A bad thing with having our own dialog in 1.0, would be to be forced to drop options (and gconf keys) after it.
marco Should we just close this and open a new bug, use libgnomeprintui. It seems like chpe might be able to even get it to work.
I dont think we should depend on the libgnomeprint thing for 1.0. It's not exactly a clean way to do it and there is not much activity on libgnomeprint, so I'm not convinced our issues will be fixed in a short time.
