But then - would you really be against allowing > export/print of a selection from its context menu? That's one of the options. I'm not necessary against.. my 2 cents. However I do ask myself, where are the boundary's. There are so many users with so many different desires. It becomes a slippery slope if add a specialized function/menu entry for each and every case diverting from baseline. Each and every request has its merits and makes often sense in the isolated case(aka "corner-case") Another uno command, another entry in the customization dialog :-). Another function that has to be maintained, documented, translated. Something else that can cause bugs. And what should happen if you use a function without anything selected, only a blinking cursor. Should print an empty page? Automatically switching to 'print/ export to selection' feels like "feature creep". I already struggling with 'Export Directly to PDF' because I never know which settings are used. For example: does it "print a selection" or "full page". Personally I prefer to 2 step process. Export as PDF, knowing what it does (or supposed to do accordingly to dialog, probably not always the case) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
