The only problem I have is that in the print job list every print job from Gimp has the name '(stdin)'. I would like the name of the printed file to appear there and from the lpr side this is done via the '-C' option. Now I need Gimp to insert the file name into the print command. So the print command specification in the printer setup should be something like 'lpr -C $filename' where Gimp is replacing $filename with the actual file name. BTW, I am printing through CUPS. I don't know whether CUPS' lpr differs from standard lpr. If in fact GIMP is printing via stdin, there will not be a file name associated. I suspect that you'll be out of luck as GIMP is probably not 'aware' of the file name at this point. After all, it may not even have a file name if you've just created the image. This is all speculation, thus you should likely wait to hear from someone who really knows. :) Matthias ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user -- Until later, Geoffrey ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Re: Print command
Ok, so -- there is no way to do what you want. The only way would be to implement it into the print plugin, possibly making it exapand %f on this field to the filename.
