           Summary: Print dialog settings not persistent
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mike at ant.edu.hk


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Print dialog settings are discarded immediately after printing.

When setting print dialog "options", the duplex settings work. However, the
settigns are lost immediately. The next time you try to print a document, the
default setting (no duplex) is used.

Productivity Implications:
As multiple printing isn't available for Okular, each document must be printed
multiple times for multiple copies. However, dialog settings are not
persistent, so several additional steps must be undertaken for satisfactory
printing of *each* copy of a document.

Expected behaviour:
The most commonly used printing options (duplex settings, colour modes, paper
sizes / orientations) should be persistent, or the defaults should be
configurable and persistent.

To reproduce:
Open a pdf document with two or more pages.
Select "Print"
Select "Options" in the print dialog
Select "Options" tab.
Change "Duplex Settings: None" to Duplex Settings: Long Edge".

Print the document. It will print two sided.

Select "Print".
Select "Options" in the print dialog
Select "Options" tab.

Duplex Settings will have reverted to "None"
