Angelo, yes, you're right that there will be white space around the images if they are not all cropped to squares. That's the nature of it: a thumbnail print sheet can conserve paper or it can show the images accurately. Think about the on-screen thumbnails; a thin gray line defines a square area within which each image occupies as much space as it can without being cropped or altered. If you change the size of the thumbnails, it automatically adjusts the number it can show in a row - it is quite elegant in its simplicity. If that could make its way to paper ...

After making a request for an improved thumbnail printer here, I have found that GQview will give me the kind of thumbnail printing I'm looking for and I've used it a few times. It's a shame to leave Gwenview though, because it's such a good program. If you're interested, take a look at GQview's printing, particularly the options of "All" and "Proof Sheet."

Re ACDSee, yes, it's commercial and I think they ruined their own product by over-developing it in search of more sales. When I started using it though, it was shareware with a voluntary contribution of $10. It was one of the very few times I actually paid for a shareware product and I still use that simple version. I suspect there were not many paid people involved back then.

Thank you and everyone working on Gwenview. You're doing a great job and my help programing would only get in your way - I haven't learned a thing since about 1980.
