Kinda hard to find out which person E0814 is... It works for me with 1.1.99. Could you tell which the version you're running? With 1.1.99 I can double-click on any entry in the References tab of the EditSource dialog. In your example, if I double-click on the event I get an Event Editor come up with all the details of that event. > I have a little problem with the gnome-print backend that I'm having > some difficulty reproducing.

When you get the gnomeprint dialog allowing page size selection and everything else, the print job is already laid out. The size used to lay out that print job is the default gnomeprint size, which is most likely the last one you have used with any gnomeprint-aware application. Here "size" means both actual size and orientation. So, if you're running several reports in a row, selecting different page in a gnomeprint dialog will be reflected in the next print job layout :-) I have no idea how to properly set up the job based on the gramps' own size determined by our own paper menus. The gnomeprint mailing list is not very responsive. If anybody can offer some help it would be really appreciated. =20 > Speaking of which, shouldn't the filename and paper-options be greyed > out with the gnome-print plugin?

I guess it would be a good thing to have, just neve got around to doing it. Alex --=20 Alexander Roitman http://www.gramps-project.org |

While trying this out, I got this traceback, but I can't reproduce it, so chances are I did something weird. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/gramps/ListModel.py", line 250, in button_press self.double_click(obj) File "/usr/share/gramps/EditSource.py", line 258, in button_press (type,handle) = data[0] IndexError: list index out of range But I still can't doubleclick. I'm afraid it's me being stupid, so I'll have to ask if we do the same thing: Sources -> doubleclick a source -> References -> double click an event. Now nothing happens. > > http://buick.jordet.net/gramps/gnome-print.jpg > Looks like mixed up orientation. But it wasn't. It was with the right orientation, but I had tried with the wrong earlier. As I said, it wasn't reproducible. Sometimes I got correct output, sometimes wrong. No matter what orientation I tried. Does not matter for me, just wanted to know if you had seen it your self. Thanks for looking into this :) Best regards, Stian |

So if you used to do portrait and want to switch to landscape, you will actually need to run it twice, both time setting Landscape in gnomeprint dialog, and not printing the first time (just preview or cancel).

I've been running cvs at least the last six months.

Ahh, thanks. I never understood that I had to run it twice. Thank you! :) Best regards, Stian |

I never understood that I had to run it twice. Thank > you! :) Unfortunately that's the reality. If anybody could tell me how to set the size of gnomeprint job using arbitrary page sizes I would be most grateful. The current state is rather an embarassment :-) Alex --=20 Alexander Roitman http://www.gramps-project.org |
