Option to print multiple notes as single document #21

Open scrod opened 14 years ago

scrod commented 14 years ago

Currently, when printing multiple selected notes, Notational Velocity places each one on a separate page. There should an application-specific checkbox in the print options dialog to use as few pages as possible when printing multiple notes.

That'ld be nice to have.

For now you can set the number of pages-per-sheet under the Layout menu, but naturally that will reduce the font size by quite a bit.

. . . and places hugh gaps between the notes.

but here's a workaround that just posted in another thread:

don't actually print the notes but choose "pdf" -> "Open in Preview" in the printing dialogue. In Preview select all (Cmd-a) and copy-paste the contents to TextEdit. You will have to do a little formating (mostly newlines between notes and sometimes the body of the note is in the same line as the title). Then you can print or save from TextEdit.

Not perfect (actually just a dirty hack) but it works.
