Print dialog - Best fit could rotate

[foxyshadis]

If an image would fit the dimensions of the paper better by rotating tolandscape, it seems like best fit could do that for the user. Otherwise, choosing landscape isn't too hard.

In that vein, choosing landscape in the printer options won't recompute the fit size until you go back and change any of the fit numbers.

Also, not sure if you ever intend this, but have you considered the possibility of printing on multiple pages in the future?

When I choose "Landscape" XnView 1.90 beta 2 applies "Best Fit to Page" perfectly.

A option for Multiple pages is available.

Not the way I mean. (And half the request was to auto-rotate so no selection is necessary.) If you try to print both landscape and portrait photos at once, you have to squeeze one set or the other, because it doesn't attempt to rotate them for better fit.

A option for Multiple pages is available.

Really? Er, where? By this I mean printing a single image to 4, 6, or more pages, not multi-page PDF printing. Sorry if it was confusing.

So, there would be a need for a "Best fit to page (auto-rotate)" that would be able to maximize image size by automatically choosing Portrait/Landscape based on the image? I like the idea.

In that vein, choosing landscape in the printer options won't recompute the fit size until you go back and change any of the fit numbers.

Works fine in Beta 5 (I'm quite sure I saw a duplicate of this somewhere... ).

There is Printer>'Copies' in Beta 5. Is that what you asked for?

It does indeed, must have been fixed in b4 or 5.

More like posteriza, for poster printing: http://www.posteriza.com/

However, I realize there's more that goes into them than simply "print to 4 pages". This was just an offhand idea, I'll make a real thread in requests later.
