Re: [gnome-love] GNOME goals : Print to File



Yep you're doing the right thing. I'm unsure about that GNOME goal. I 
believe GTK+3 apps mostly use a standard printing dialog.

I used jhbuild to build and run gedit 3.11.x, and there is already a 
menu option to save the filename:

Perhaps a preliminary method to go about cleaning up this GNOME goal 
would be to learn how GTK+3 apps open this printing dialog, verify that 
this unified printing dialog DOES now include the print to file 
filename (it definitely didn't used to, but it does now), and then 
update the wiki page with which apps are already finished (since they 
use this dialog), which are not needed, and which, if any, do printing 
without the standard printing dialog.

Heya Everyone,

Gedit has been listed at Gnome Goals
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/PrintToFile> . Although
the patch has been already submitted,I want to learn few things abt
it. The goal is to set suitable filename when print dialog is opened.

For this 1st I need to clone the gedit repo and then find the proper
printing function in the source and then modifying it so that proper
filename can be displayed when print dialog is displayed.

To check whether my modified code is working  or not ,I need to build
Gedit. Am i going rite..?
