Print multiple documents in one shot

[jflesch]

From the helpdesk :

une fonctionnalité qui serait très utile est de pouvoir sélectionner plusieurs documents depuis l'interface pour les envoyer en impression tous ensemble !

Translation:

One feature that would be really useful is to be able to select many documents in the interface and send them all to the print queue

Hello there! Here is an attempt to integrate this feature request. You'll see the ui changes a bit from what exists for now:

• the edit button is moved from the document list to the header bar, leaving room for the delete button
• the hamburger button and it's popover is replaced with a more meaningful export button, which reveals a full-height pane with the list of the the selected pages and the export options

The goal was to make things more discoverable and easy to use, by using patterns closer to what exists in gnome-maps, gnome-photos and google-plus image viewer. Feedback welcome!

Interesting. Won't be easy to implement, but looks cool :)

I made one more iteration for this feature. Instead of allowing export directly from selection mode, I used a queue which works more or less like what you can find in music players (deezer, soundcloud). It should work the same, but handle documents and pages in place of albums and tracks. Instead of using a sidepane this time, I used a popover whose height depends on the number of items.

Experimental mockups here. As always, comments are welcome!
