Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2018 11:16 pm Post subject: very simple question: default paper size in qt apps [SOLVED] |
|
|
I find that apps like okular, kwrite etc have a default printing page
size of A4 (also very bad margin settings)
these can be changed for a particular print job but revert
sorry for this elementary question but where is the setting to
permanently change default page size to letter?
(of course, the cups default is already letter ...) _________________ .... there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth

thanks for the help;
despite high hopes the unix-way /etc/papersize is not obeyed by KDE apps
in my okular there is NO advanced tab; changing paper size for a print
job does not stick
there must be somewhere the A4 setting, but I fear - since we have lost
our way - not in a straightforward text file _________________ .... there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth

You wait until Qt 5.11 arrives in tree?
The patch set is too big to ever be included with an ebuild, but works with epatch_user. |

thanks v. much - those patches work fine and the papersize now
defaults to "letter". _________________ .... there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth
