Hello Henri,
I have integrated the start of the Track Print Dialog by a small icon
in the information panel in the TrackDetail Dialog.This was the easiest
and quickest solution so far for me. For my private use this is ok.
But I guess for integration in the main repo a more general approach
should be evaluated. Because I am using more or less the same internal
methods than the existing print option (CTRL-P) in QMS.Only the
computation of the pages is different.
So maybe an approach is needed to bring the existing Print Dialog
(Saving and printing of a screen rect) and my Track Print Dialog
together in one Dialog. But my development skills are bit limited and I
think this will be a bit to much for me.If a volunteer can be found for
integration I can provide my code.

Hi Karl,
your printing feature looks great!
Would you be able to make a pull request to the main repository?
