[Desktop-packages] [Bug 684376] Re: Change 'Print to File' default to PDF
Firstly, I too, would like to mention that print to PDF should be the default. I can't imagine for what purpose I'd want to print to Postscript. Who uses Postscript anymore? Secondly, I fail to understand how this script is useful. What do I do with it? Print it to PDF??? Ha! Ha! Just kidding. But I'm not a programmer so it's all gobbledigook to me. I did a search for a file called nsDeviceContextSpecG.cpp on my computer and it doesn't exist. At least, Search for Files didn't find it. And having a look at the links provided is of no use either. Where is this folder widget/src/gtk2/ located? Not in the filesystem root nor in my home folder. So after searching for a solution to this problem (bug if you will), which, by the way, didn't originate with 11.04 (I've found it a source of annoyance for at least 2 years), for a couple of hours I am still no further than when I started. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684376 Title: Change 'Print to File' default to PDF Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Fix Committed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I use the 'Print to File' option a lot.

Hi bob, the files you are looking for will not be on your computer. They are the source code used to build firefox itself.

In Firefox, the default file type is PostScript, while in Gedit it is PDF. (this bug report) 2. In Firefox the default file name is empty .ps, while in Gedit it is print.pdf. (bug #485067) 3. In Firefox, the print dialog does not remember any settings unlike the dialog in Gedit. If you for example choose in the Firefox dialog to make a two-sided print, nothing of it is left when you restart Firefox. In Gedit every change to any optio is saved - if you once choose to e.g. make a two-sided print, all prints will be two-sided until the option is changed again. 4. The file dialog does not remember the folder last used (bug #454003) In my opinion Firefox should implement the print dialog in the same way as other Gnome/GTK apps do. The behaviour of e.g. Gedit is more correct and closer to the principles for example described in the Gnome User Interface Guidelines. Also I read the original Netscape's philosophy was keep each dialog in the same state where it was last time. Please make PDF the default file type or allow the dialog to remember the file type selected earlier. I think PDF is a good default since it is a more common format than PostScript (I know that PDF includes PS, but from the regular users point of view they are not the same). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On newest Ubuntu, open a page with Firefox 2. Choose File Print 3. Choose Print to File Actual Results: Post Script is selected by default. For most users, it is really annoying. Since there is no way currently for the user to save a better default, they need to manually change the file type each time.. Expected Results: PDF would be a more sensible and user friendly default. The bug 485067 is closely related, but not duplicate.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 684376] Re: Change 'Print to File' default to PDF
Chris this is a Firefox issue why did you change the summary? Its up to the application to set the default file type to anything other than PDF. GTK by default already sets pdf as default, for some reason Firefox has chosen to override this. I have linked the appropriate bug upstream.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I do not think it is redundant as the bug is also reported against the Hundred Papercuts project, and as it stands the summary helps identify bugs and the projects they belong to from the list of hundreds.
