I 've heard on this side of the Planet that Sven never sleeps. He is
always there, safe keeping the GIMP codebase.

Which, if I recall right, won't print anything larger than a single
sheet on the printer. (with options for tiling or trimming the
output)

I did not mean that it should be rushed in right now. I think both
moves can be taken in early 2.1, can't they?
Actually, after I wrote the parent e-mail, I was hit with what might
be a good, easily implementable, idea: That would be to make the
printing plugin to automatically create an image parasite with the
last printing options to a given image - regardless of these
optionsbeing saved as gimp-wde defaults. That way, without changing a
single bit in how XCF images are saved, the printing options for each
image could be preserved.
Is that feasible? (again, I am talking of 2.1, or, 2.0.1 if it is as
simple as it seems)
