Hi..

this was posted to kde-core-devel.. since it involves the GUI rather than new 
capabilities i thought it might be of interest to the look and usability lists. this 
development is the result of a thread by the subject of "Printing Questions" in 
kde-devel.

Subject: KPrintAction proposal
Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2001 18:49:44 +0200
From: Michael Goffioul <goffioul@imec.be>
To: KDE Core Development <kde-core-devel@kde.org>, KDE Development <kde-devel@kde.org>

Following the thread on kde-devel, I implemented a KPrintAction class that
allows to easily add "Export" action in any app. You can find an example
in kwrite here: http://users.swing.be/kdeprint/kprintaction.png . I attached
the header file to give an overview of the available API.

I'd like to have comments about these issues:
- is it useful?
- should I commit it?
- is the API OK, or should something be changed?

Thanks.
Michael.
