I often print several emails out in succession. I noticed that if I highlight several emails, then <file> <print>, I am asked to confirm each file before it is printed. That does not make sense. If I highlighted several files and then click print, it is rather obvious that I wanted to print all of those files. This is a rather big annoyance if I am printing out say 25 or 30 emails. MS Outlook allows me to print more than one file at a time, and I would like to see claws-mail offering the opportunity. Could this behavior be modified? I could not find any configuration option that would address this problem.
There doesn't seem to be any straightforward way to batch print in GTK+ - each GtkPrintOperation has to be executed via gtk_print_operation_run(), which always displays the dialog. Even GTK3 doesn't have this added. All the pieces seem to be there - you can store and restore settings, as well as other parameters, to a different GtkPrintOperation. Just the option to skip each operation's print dialog is missing. The only way I can think of to work around this would be to stuff content of all e-mails into one "document", and print that, but that approach has issues of its own.
