Printing support in version 1.0b17

Friday, January 26th, 2007

The eagerly awaited feature printing has finally been implemented in Ghost Action 1.0b17. Currently all incomplete actions are printed grouped per context.

Below are two sample printouts:


The printouts can be printed with different page formats and different font size. I would expect the printouts will be most useful when printing to smaller formats such as index cards or with several print pages per sheet.

The printout to the right have been printed with a different page format (using Page Setup…) and with fewer lines per page. The lines per page setting can be changed in the print dialog under the special “Ghost Action” setting.


This should be seen as the first version of the printing support. Please experiment, give me your feedback, and tell me what I can improve.
