Problem description: A very annoying "feature" of newer versions of LO is that the printing dialog doesn't remember that you printed handouts. Let's say you need to first print handouts for slides 1-50, then from 100-110, then from 130-140. Every time you open the printing dialog again, it is set back to the "Slides" default, which is very impractical and illogical from a user's point of view. It doesn't need to remember this setting on saving and loading the ODP file, but within one session, it should. And yes, this *did* work with an older LO/OOo version, I just don't remember when that changed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Just open an ODP file and print handouts several times. Current behavior: Doesn't remember value for Print-Document pull-down menu between printing Expected behavior: Should remember value for Print-Document pull-down menu between printing Operating System: Windows XP Version: 4.0.0.3 release
None of our print settings are currently saved outside of Writer, this is a known issue and I am currently investigating the issue. As for it working in the past, I can say that I went all the way back to 3.6 alpha and the issue existed. If you can point to a particular version that did work, I'd be interested to see it as it might have code pointers for me to fix the problem. This may very well be a duplicate but I'm not sure where the dupe is, if someone finds it please mark it as such. If anyone else dives into the code here are some pointers: Writer successfully stores settings but does it incorrectly, code can be found here: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/ui/uno/unotxdoc.cxx#2439 incorrect in that the settings are stored even if you click Cancel, the function is called MUCH too often (any time to tick/untick a box, instead of just when you click Ok) the general print options are here: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/core/view/printdata.cxx If someone wants to work on it with me, feel free to email me. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well. Marking as: New (confirmed) Minor (doesn't prevent high quality work but it does slow it down) High (you'd expect settings to be stored, can get frustrating to have to set it every time you open the dialog) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free. We invite you to join our triaging by checking out this link: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing - http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please visit WIKI to see examples of great bug reports..

This seems to be getting worse. With version: 4.2.1.1 (Build ID: d7dbbd7842e6a58b0f521599204e827654e1fb8b), Win7 64bit, when printing "handouts", not even the "slides per page" are remembered any longer between printing jobs, it is always reset to the "default" (6 slides per page). Not only do you have to select "Handouts" every time, you also have to set it to the proper slides per page if you want to print handouts. Very annoying.
