I'm not so confused about "print to file," but I can't stand "print to PDF". Every time I have to explain it to someone at work I feel ashamed. "Yeah, to 'save as' a file of type 'pdf' you go to the print menu, and it's one of the printers. Please don't kill me." Maybe the solution is to make "print to file" both a printer and a save-as option. That way people can find it either way :). owen _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
