    Status: Answered => Open

Brian Phillips is still having a problem:

Hi Tom.  I have installed AbiWorld. 

I can click and drag ONE pic from F-Spot to either OpenOffice or
AbiWorld and both will print just the ONE pic. 

I cannot seem to get several pix to go on to just one A4 sheet and print
out all of them.  [When I used Windows I had no trouble at all !!!
sigh.] 

For Open Office I can highlight and click and drag 5 pix.  They appear
as 1 pic per page and I see them all individually by clicking either
Undo: insert linked bitmap   OR  Redo: insert linked bitmap.  HOWEVER  I
have just tried to repeat this and only one pic out of the 5 seems to
have  transferred this time! 

for AbiWorld I can select 5 pix and click and drag and after a very long
time 5 pics do transfer but so slowly, and only as 2 pix pix per page.
Also Print Preview shows 2 pix per page. However Abiworld did not print
these (I expected 2 prints per page but got nothing even after waiting 5
minutes!) 

That seems to be all for the moment.

Cheers Brian
