Hi,

I had never felt the need for printing a patch into a sheet of paper up to now, so I have just tried the file/print option for the first time (hadn't even realised it existed).

However, if the patch is very "long" vertically, I get just one page (of an arbitrary size, I guess A4 or similar) with the part of the patch fitting in it visible and the rest is lost, or maybe it is virtually there but there's no way to see nor print it. At least that's what I see by opening the generated ps file with GhostView (Windows).

Is there any trick to get the exceeding part split into pages? (other than making screenshots manually)

thanks m.

Hello Matteo,

afaik the ultimate trick is to code it up in tcl :-o i took a look some time ago but and found that it is one of things which are currently terribly cumbersome to do in tcl - i'm not saying impossible, though ;o)
