Re: [tdf-discuss] PinterSettins are no longer persistent (windows)

Hi Fernand,

some weeks ago I spoke with some guys at OOo and they know this problem.
Because of your mail, I did a quick search both at the OOo issue tracker
and the LibreOffice issue tracker.

The only information (related to that) is:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33639

So please, go ahead and file and issue for that ... since you have some
more insight, I'd like to ask you. But I'd also like to ask whether you
could CC me (username "Christoph").

Once the bug is filed, I'll upload a document I did some time ago. I've
started to analyze the print items stored in the ODF files. So even some
versions ago, the office suite wasn't able to store half of the settings
offered in the printing dialog (that resulted in a "funny" mixture of
both saved / non-saved) items.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Christoph
