Wish: Printing Image Catalogues

[dietmarrudolph]

Hi!
I often have to process image CDs having images in more than one folder. I need to print out a catalogue of all images contained. To do so, I always have to change from XnView to ThumbsPlus, and this is the only function I use ThumbsPlus for. So I wish this feature would be included in a future version of XnView.

"Print Catalogue" should work almost identical to the current Print Miniature Images feature with rows/columns/captions. It should process all images in the current folder plus all images in all sub-folders. Each sub-folder should start on a page of its own. The sub-folder name should make it into the header or footer of each page.

Note: As this may process MANY images, the print preview calculation should be optimized. It seems that currently all images which are to be printed are read in and scaled before the print dialog is shown. You don't have to. Only the images on the page currently displayed must be read. You can calculate the number of pages needed from the number of images and the thumbnails cached.
