Public bug reported:
Every time I use an application which makes use of the GtkPrint dialog,
and I change the settings listed there, my choiches are remembered and
reused for the next time I want to print.
This leds to some confusion in my opinion. For example, it happened to me to
print a PDF in evince on a day, selecting it with two pages per sheet, and
asking myself the next day (the following time I did printing in evince) why
all my curriculum vitae where split in two.
Or, more frequently, print 10 copies of a leaflet, and then forget to check it
for the next print which is a Shakespeare's complete novel, going to buy me a
coffee, and return after half an hour with three or four spare copies of
Macbeth. Not to count the problems the famigerate page selection options,
expecially when you've to handle over your work to your colleagues during a
meeting, and you discover too late you've got a lot of odd pages of your
presentation, but no even-numbered one!
In short, it would be a sensible behaviour if evince or GtkPrint (I
think the culprit is the second one, but feel free to correct me if I'm
mistaken) would save my choiches across _any printing operation for the
same document_ (until the document changes, or the application is
closed) instead of _any printing operation for any document_.
If needed, a "Save as default options" button could be added to the
printing dialog.
Cheers,
m.
