[digiKam-users] How to print current image?

[Chris Green]

Is there not a way to print the currently selected image?

I don't want all the complications added by the Print Creator tool, I
just want to select an image, maybe crop it, maybe (but less likely)
do some other adjustements, and print it.

What happens if, in editor window, you press ctrl-p?

Here I only get "print to pdf", but that's most likely because I have no
printer attached under linux, could be different in your case. Give it a
try and tell the list your result...

Nothing at all.  Though I'm not quite sure what you mean by "editor
window".

 From Album view, press F4 to go to Editor window. You get a new window
opening with the selected image. First item on the left in the menu bar
is 'File', in the 'File' menu is 'Print Image...' with a shortcut of Ctrl-P.

Thank you, that's got me there.  However it does feel as if there
should be a direct way to print a selected image in album view.

I can understand why it's there, as maybe the possibility to select
various images in album view makes the "print thing" complicated (don't
know, different sizes, formats...).

However, if it's important to you, you can file a wish in digikam's bug
list and the developers will consider it if useful and possible from
their point of view:
