Print to file: fix default output filename (1.10 KB, patch)

Description madan_ram@rocketmail.com 2013-08-31 17:47:54 UTC 
whenever i try to convert a text to pdf i use print option in gedit.
Then select pdf formate and click print.
but the pdf file name is the name of last printed pdf .

Rather then that why don't it automatically append the [saved filename].pdf formate. that will be a good option.So i thought of adding that feature but i was not able to compile the source in Ubuntu.

please add that feature.

I confirm, when printing to a file, the filename is often not what I want.
Comment 2 Sébastien Wilmet 2013-11-03 16:07:32 UTC 
It's probably a regression, see

Print to file: fix default output filename

In ~/.config/gedit/gedit-print-settings, the URI is saved and loaded the
next time. Since the URI has a higher priority than the BASENAME, the
basename was not taken into account.

Makes sense.


I guess it is worth backporting to 3.10 (and probably also others of your recent patches)
