Print-time Auto-orientation Bug, No auto-orientation of multiple files Options

[Teijo]

The bug in auto-orientation I reported in August 2005 in the Windows forum still seems to exist at least in OS/2 version 3.23. When printing several files at once, the orientation remains portrait although some of the files are landscape. This results in only the (left) portion of a horizontal picture that fit in the width of the vertical sheet being printed, while the bottom portion of the sheet is left blank.

To replicate:

File open
- choose two files, the first portrait and the second landscape, using ctrl - left click
- right click on the second file
- choose print
- image size: fit pixels
- page orientation:automatic
- unit:mm
- gamma 1.00
>print

I've been avoiding the issue by copying the photographs I want to print into two temporary folders, and printing them from there, but this is obviously not a very elegant solution...
