The new eggcups may be better in the cups communication, but there are several unfortunate regressions in the UI: - no way to hide the icon (old eggcups had a context menu for that purpose) - File -> Close Window does not work - Window comes up ridiculously wide. Please ellipsize the "Document" column and give it a reasonable width - useless statusbar, just remove it - no way to clear the list - no window icon set
File->Close was fixed in CVS. Yes, needs ellipsizing. Okay, will remove. How do you mean 'clear the list'? You mean cancel all jobs? I can set a window icon (I didn't think the old eggcups did actually).
With "Clear" I mean "Remove the completed jobs from the list". As things currently stand, the list is ever-growing, no ?
No, the list is not ever-growing, in the same way that 'lpstat -o' is not ever-growing. Completed jobs may be viewed by toggling 'View->Show completed jobs'. Please try system-config-printer-0.7.59-1.fc7.
At what point is a completed job dropped from the list ?
When it is completed.
No, when it is completed, it gets hidden. It stays on the list, as "Show completed" proves. I meant drop for good.
It just depends how you've configured CUPS. The default is for it to preserve job history (but not job files). Try 'lpstat -Wall -o'. This is all CUPS policy.
