[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#424763: digikam: no print option

[Andrew Schulman]

Package: digikam
Version: 2:0.9.1-4
Severity: wishlist


If there's an option somewhere in Digikam to print a photo, I can't
find it.  Instead I have to open each photo I want to print in some
external viewer, then print.

I did finally find the File > Export > Print Wizard feature
(apparently from kipi-plugins), but this isn't what I want.  I just
want to print a single photo, to one of my standard CUPS printers, on
4x6 photo paper.  The Print Wizard doesn't offer me this capability
(it only offers letter-sized papers) and anyway is too convoluted for
the need.

Digikam should offer a standard File > Print feature, that just calls
kprinter.

Another useful approach would be to put kprinter in the "Open with"
context menu for each photo.  But maybe that's a kprinter issue.

Thanks,
Andrew.
