Description
Created attachment 368103 archive of two tiny .jpg files used to reproduce the bug.
OVERVIEW:
Under certain circumstances, selecting "Print" from the print dialog works as desired, while selecting "Preview" from the print dialog and then the "Print this document" button from the preview window results in printing a blank page.
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Shotwell 0.22.0
This bug is easily and consistently reproducible following the steps described below.
While I did not try to reproduce this on later versions, I did check all the current open bugs and all the bugs resolved since 0.22.0 and didn't find this problem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Note: Unfortunately, the files referenced below are much too large for the bug reporting attachment file size limit. I suspect the bug occurs with any files; I reproduced the good behavior and the bug using the two I did attach. However, if you want the original files referred to in the report below, please provide a way to submit them and I'll be happy to do so.
Run Shotwell Select 01 Photo.JPG and 02 Photo.JPG attached here Click File>Print Under the "Page Setup" tab, "Pages per side:" select "2", "Orientation:" select "Portrait" Under the "Image Settings" tab, choose "Autosize" and select "Fill the entire page" (I think this is the default) Click "Print" The result is what I would expect, see the file "06 Portrait Orientation, 2 Pages per Side, Fill the entire Page, scanned.PDF" attached here. This is a scan of the paper my printer produced when I followed the above steps. The above is not the bug.
Now for the first part of the bug: Select 01 Photo.JPG and 02 Photo.JPG attached here Click File>Print Under the "Page Setup" tab, "Pages per side:" select "2", "Orientation:" select "Portrait" Under the "Image Settings" tab, choose "Autosize" and select "Fill the entire page" Click "Preview" The preview is blank.
Now for the second part of the bug: While in the preview window, click the "Print this document" button. The resulting printout is blank.
Finally, the third part of the bug, discovered while creating this report: I used the Shotwell "Print to File" facility to create the files "03 ... .PDF" and "04 ... .PDF" attached here. That worked fine, except for not being the ouput format I wanted. However,
Run Shotwell Select 01 Photo.JPG and 02 Photo.JPG attached here Click File>Print Under the "General" tab, select "Print to File" Under the "Page Setup" tab, "Pages per side:" select "2", "Orientation:" select "Portrait" Under the "Image Settings" tab, choose "Autosize" and select "Fill the entire page" (I think this is the default) Click "Print" The result is an 859 byte blank file, "05 ... .PDF" attached here.
