Bug ID: 420928
Summary: SystemSettings don't expose page size
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.16.5
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_formats
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: syfe...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The format settings in SystemSettings should expose a setting to change the
preferred page format. Currently people who have set all their formats to use
metric find themselves with typesetting programs such as LibreOffice producing
"letter" formatted documents instead of A4 that's standard around the world.
Changing the format requires writing a value to /etc/papersize, but the
discoverability of this option is quite low. The discoverability of this
setting in SystemSettings will be much higher and thus it should be exposed
here. The minimum two options should be "letter" and "A4".
Setting the region to anything except USA and Canada should set this value to
A4 as well.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open SystemSettings
2. Go to Regional Settings
3. Go to formats
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no option to change the paper size.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be an option to change the paper size
