Also it would be great have this utility in more languages than English.
o wow i read this comment now well you need to translate it in your languages i wil try to improve it in these days btw
I thing it would be very useful add a new option to the lprinter-qt menu. I was think about a button for "Print this file/s now", for print a file (or several if you have some files selected) in that moment, whitout having to add the files to the list and after that print the list. In Windows there is a "Print" option in the contextual menu of the file manager and for some cases saves lots of time.
buildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(26063) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry Actions in "ServiceMenus/lprinter-qt.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon).
i knew about that i have to fix that, right now i will add the translation
See my new translations :-) #>>> [Desktop Entry] X-KDE-Submenu[de]=Drucker Menü [Desktop Action add] Name[de]=Dateien zu Druckauftragsliste hinzufügen [Desktop Action deleteall] Name[de]=Lösche Druckauftragsliste [Desktop Action globalinteractive] Name[de]=Start Drucken: Global Interaktiv [Desktop Action interactiveeach] Name[de]=Jede Datei Drucken nach Rückfrage [Desktop Action showlist] Name[de]=Zeige meine Liste [Desktop Action help] Name[de]=Hilfe es funktioniert nicht #<<<
Wobei ich hier erst dachte: [Desktop Action globalinteractive] Name[de]=Start Drucken: Global Interaktiv [Desktop Action interactiveeach] Name[de]=Jede Datei Drucken nach Rückfrage dass ich die Dateien vorher nicht auf die Liste setzten muss. Vielleicht ist das besser: [Desktop Action globalinteractive] Name[de]=Drucke Liste: Global Interaktiv [Desktop Action interactiveeach] Name[de]=Drucke Liste: Druck einzeln bestätigen Was meinst Du?
Very helpfull and nice script/menu ;-) If you need, you can add the German translations: X-KDE-Submenu[de]=Drucker Menü Name[de]=Am besten eingepasst Name[de]=Am besten eingepasst (querformat) ubIx
