Hi,

I would like to know what you think about dropping the "File Actions" custom
file manager on Linux and use only xdg-utils.
For now, we already use "open" on Windows and MacOS so I find it will be
logical to use the equivalent one of Linux world.

Other argument is that the current editor view is a little bit simple so we
will gain in "user-friendlynes" by moving to desktop file manager.

One issue is that xdg-utils doesn't manage direct printing. (Is there some one
know how to deal with this issue?)


On the cheap side... what about just using /lpr/ to print the pdf on the default printer?

It works for us pretty well on the OpenERP GTK client (it is not a feature of the official GTK client, we had to patch it!): http://www.openerp.com/forum/topic7077-15.html


And PrintOperation from pygtk? http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkprintoperation.html

The documentation states it is multi-platform:
/"|gtk.PrintOperation| <http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkprintoperation.html> is the high-level, portable printing API. It looks a bit different than other GTK+ dialogs such as the |gtk.FileChooser| <http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkfilechooser.html>, since some platforms don't expose enough infrastructure to implement a good print dialog. On such platforms, |gtk.PrintOperation| <http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkprintoperation.html> uses the native print dialog. On platforms which do not provide a native print dialog, GTK+ uses its own, see |gtkunixprint.PrintUnixDialog| <http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkprintunixdialog.html>."/
