The big rectangle would only persist whilst the write image dialog was open therefore not having the clutter of another tool for print area.

All the hard work would already be done, because at some point, the schematic already gets put together into data suitable for writing to an image... just in black and green. A non-default colormap, would only modify this local data after its been gathered, so I don't think this would get into the deeer arts of gEDA's configuration mechanism. > I'd personally like something a bit like the current print dialog -- the > export controls are lost relative to the file selector part of the dialog > box.- Peter Brett So put the resolution selector, the colormap selector, the mini-preview, in a seperate dialog box, with a button that says "Ok" before taking you to the cleaned location dialog box?
