Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:14:12 UTC
Package: gnome-core Severity: enhancement Version: latest Synopsis: Gnome Wishlist Bugzilla-Product: gnome-core Bugzilla-Component: general Description: Just a little wish for the wish list for GNOME The right-click menu Should have a "Print" option. As well as a "Script" option. The purpose fo the "Print" option is to give the ability to print w/o manually opening the document first. The "Script" option will give people the ability to write their own scripts for the right click menu. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-01-21 12:41 ------- The original reporter (cpt_morian@hotmail.com) of this bug does not have an account here.

what application are you talking about?
Taking a chance and moving it to nautilus which is the only place I can imagine this being useful
Well, the "scripts" option described above already exists, so I'm changing the subject line and moving to future. I'm not sure if it's practical, but....
Marking NEW, changing priority to LOW and adding GNOVER2.0, GNOVER2.1 keywords. This might be more possible with the recent context menu work.
Past the feature freeze, changing to GNOMEVER2.3
I agree that a user should be able to right click on say a PDF or some other document like an Abiword, OO.org, KOffice, plain text, etc. (right click in a Nautilus window) and have a Print option available on the right click menu to print the file without opening an application first. However, this may require that the corresponding application have the capability to say print a file using command line parameters say like soffice --print file1 or something like that. Or there may be other ways to go about this. Getting Print on the right click menu for a file would be probably in Nautilus (I'm no programmer yet, just guessing here) but would it seem rely on code elsewhere also. This would be a great enhancement if it could be done. --Jason <remote29@yahoo.com>
This sounds very interestin! I think we could add a PrintExec command to .desktop files, which will be shown for all MIME types this app has registered for, which should only bring up the print setup dialog for the document. If only one app is registered, we can show "Print...", otherwise "Print with \"GIMP\"..." etc.
Comment 7 sounds very cool, just a "me too" for this feature.

Christian, how do we proceed with the PrintExec entry in the .desktop file? Should we make a request to f.d.o?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
