Build: 2001112921, Linux or Solaris or whatever To reproduce: 1. Choose `File' > `Print...'. 2. Look at the `File:' field. What you see: * `mozilla.ps' What you should see: * A filename that bears some resemblance to the URI of the document that you're printing. Printing file://home/mpt/stuff/foo.html should default to producing /home/mpt/stuff/foo.ps, for example.

This should use the same method as 'Save As...' which Ben Goodger (I believe) is adding <title> support to. If they use the same function it will be alot more consistant, and less bloaty as a bonus. Maybe mark Ben's work as a blocker?

The work referenced in the previous comment was backed out. Mozilla.ps is an okay filename. Suggest marking this wontfix.

We now have the ability to define any other name in user prefs, even in a per-printer manner... ... reporter: Is that enougth for you ?

No, it is not. The request is that the _browser_ determine the filename based on the page being printed in a sane way not that the _user_ have to set preferences before printing every single page.

I have to agree with the reporter of this bug. Admittedly, this is somewhat of a cosmetic fix, I still think that it would greatly enhance the usability of the print to file function of mozilla. Mozilla obviously knows what a page is called and it should be possible to fix up the filename somehow such that it reflects the page name.

rods: Is there any way to obtain the documents title at InitPrintSettingsFromPrinter() time ? If yes we would have a crossplatform fix for the issue... ... otherwise we would have to stick the solution into the single print modules (e.g. adding an env var to the printer name; the env var gets set to a mangeled version of the documents title) - a solution I had in mind as a fix for this but did not like very much (both ugly and problematic) ...

When would InitPrintSettingsFromPrinter be called and from where? BEcause if you are referring to the first time it is called, I think it is called when you open the PageSetup dialog. Which may be shown for a document you have no interest in printing. It seems to me the DV should set the filename into the PS before the Print dialog is shown.

Since the print dialog was changed there is no default filename any more, so this bug is no longer relevant.
