Can't print from Fastmate #5

Closed iamscott closed 4 years ago

iamscott commented 5 years ago

No print dialog; hitting print does not do anything.

joelekstrom commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the report! I rarely print myself so I haven’t even considered the possibility. I’ll take a look at it!

joelekstrom commented 5 years ago

This seems to be a bug in WKWebView, which is what Fastmate uses.

There are some workarounds, but nothing I have time to do in the coming weeks. However - what I can do is make Fastmate open your system browser and forward the print command to that - would that solve your problem?

iamscott commented 5 years ago

Sure, it's a pretty rare issue and easy to work around (just open the browser), but I thought I'd add it in the interest of helping other users and making Fastmate more complete. Unless the workaround is a simple fix, it's probably best to just wait until you (or someone else) has time to implement a system print dialog.

Yes, I appreciate you finding the stuff I haven't thought about, and this would definitely be a nice quality of life improvement. I'm leaving this issue open for now.

Running Fastmail with Fluid 2.x has this issue, with 1.x it does not. The author of Fluid called it a signing issue when I reported it. Not that this is Fluid, but maybe that helps you

I print often, so I went back to a Fluid 1.x SSB vice 2.x.

Thanks! That’s good information. I’ll take a look at that as well - but most likely it’s because Fluid 2.0 uses WKWebView just like Fastmate. It works fine in the older WebView, and I’d wager that’s what Fluid 1.0 uses.

I’ve seen some workarounds where an application can create an instance of the deprecated WebView just for printing. I will give that a shot some day

This is now fixed and released in version 1.4.0. Let me know if it doesn't work!

I decided to go with the "hack" to instantiate the deprecated WebView to solve it.

v1.4 works great - thanks!

I mostly save my prints as pdf's which saves as "untitled". Would it be possible to have the pdf title default to the email title?

joelekstrom commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the update @jchhenderson!

Regarding PDF's - yes, that should be possible. I'll make a separate issue for it

ghost commented 4 years ago

fantastic - thanks!
