Print File Browser to PDF

[Beep6581]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 1217

This would be the best contact-sheet ever if we could print file browser *as it is shown
on screen* into a PDF file, or, at least, save its content as a single image. A unique
feature then would be inclusion of rating and color labels, which not supported by
almost all  contactsheet generators. This is important when sharing image previews
with clients, sharing recommendation on image selection via rating and labels.

Contactsheet layout can then be comfortably changed with real-time preview via sizing
RT window and changing zoom on thumbnails.

Any ideas?

UI aspects: 

- Add new tab "Contactsheet" next to "Develop" and "Filter" tabs.
- Add a few simple options to specify header text, size and placement (left, middle,
right).
- When filebrowser is in the Contactsheet mode, Header may be dynamically previewed
within the filebrowser (HBox with a Label, etc). The same may apply to some other aspects
of filebrowser rendering such as visibility  of the gear icon in the thumbnail.
- When exiting Contactsheet mode (any other tab is selected) filebrowser to return
to as-is display.
