Gschem printing: default name problem

Hi Richard,

Could you please split up this report into two ones, that is edit
it to leave only the first part and make another one for the
second part? Otherwise it would be difficult to follow/change its
status.

BTW, did you read the document [1]? In particular, there is an
example there of how to configure monochrome gschem printing
system-, user- or project-wise.

Thanks,
  Vladimir

Ah, yes, I see. OK, fixed that, although I can't seem to edit the bug
report title.

No, I didn't know about the gaf utility at all -- but I had already
found the '(print-color "disabled")' directive in gschemrc, which does
the same system-wide.
Yet it would be nice to simply choose between color and b&w on an ad-hoc
basis: color is often very useful, e.g. when sharing PDF schematics with
clients where I want to draw attention to certain changes by marking
them in bright red.
But when printing the same schematic here on my ancient laser printer,
black & white is far better for readability.

Thanks already,

Richard Rasker

Sorry, wasn't looking, found it!

Looking through the gtk documentation, I see the keys for setting
output name have appeared in version 3.6, so we cannot fix this
yet.

There is a workaround for that: you can use the gschem-pdf
function to print your files.
