Printing multiple images does not work

Binary package hint: eog

When eog is used to open several images at a time it will not print them all at once. To reproduce this:

1. Open two images with eog

$eog img1.jpg img2.jpg

2. File->Print
3. Print Preview

The result is a print preview of only the single image in one sheet. There should be a setting somewhere to print all images and not just the one previously selected. The "Range" options are confusing because they seem to indicate this will happen, even though they are greyed out. Gnumeric solves a similar problem nicely by creating an extra tab in the print dialog called "Gnumeric Print Range". In there it is possible to set printing for only some workbook sheets, all of them, just the active ones, etc.

I came across this bug while trying to use eog to make a single pdf file of a bunch of scans of photos. I ended up giving up and using "convert" on the command line.
