LOL! Come on, Owl. Going to the File > Print menu in a program is not going
outside the program the way working with the desktop is. This is not even a
debatable question. Yes, the system helps to define the print dialog, and
the window decorations, and even widgets and the like - but those are in the
program.

The desktop is most certainly NOT in a word processor or other app.

You are better than this, Owl.

Yup... I miss the point you are trying to make. By all means spell it out. I
see you calling a print dialog from a program but have no clue what value
you think it might have, unless you are trying to incorrectly show that
calling a print dialog from the File > Print menu in a program is going
outside the program in the same way as clicking on the desktop.

If that is the point you are making you are being silly... but if there is a
real point I am missing by all means state it. Open to hearing your
thoughts.

That print dialog does not belong to the script.  It is being called
from the script.

Do you think the one-liner that forces Chrome to use the OS X system
print dialog instead of its own somehow makes the OS X system print
dialog part of Chrome?

Right. In your case you have a script call a print dialog. I am in reference
to common application behavior.

What? If I use:

defaults write com.google.Chrome DisablePrintPreview -bool true

Then Chrome uses the standard OS X print dialog. What do you mean is it a
part of Chrome? Do you think Google coded Apple's print dialog? Never mind
that... that is just into la-la land. Get back to your point.

I admitted that if your point was NOT something absurd like trying to "show"
using File > Print is going outside the program in the same way as clicking
on the desktop then I do not get what your point is.

So what is your point... assuming it is not that?

Common OS X application behavior is to use the system  print dialog. 
That dialog does not belong to the application any more than the
standalone print dialog kprinter4 belongs to my script.

That's what I'm asking you -- if you think that the system print dialog
is a part of chrome just because you set set chrome to use it.  Obviously
it is *not* part of chrome, so when you print from chrome with it set
to use the system print dialog instead of its own, you are going *outside*
of chrome to print.  This is true of *all* OS X applications that make
use of the system print dialog.

Depends on what you mean by "part of Chrome" and I am not even slightly
interested in that side issue semantic game.

The question you have not answered:

I admitted that if your point was NOT something absurd like trying to "show"
using File > Print is going outside the program in the same way as clicking
on the desktop then I do not get what your point is.

So what is your point... assuming it is not that?

It sure seems like your "point" was to try to make the extremely absurd one
I speak of above. Please tell me you had something better than that... if
not you are just trolling at this point.

Of course you are going outside the program if the program uses the
system print dialog.

And doing do in the same way as clicking on the desktop.

LOL!

OK, so you are just trolling. Got it.

Once was enough: you have made it clear you point was just to troll with

Sure, your trolling over this nonsense claim frightens me terribly. You win.

Now what?

Can we get back to reality? I mean, come on, you are not so lost with
computers that you think using the Print menu command is leaving the program
in the same way clicking on the desktop is. You are NOT that ignorant about
using computers. I simply do not believe you.

Now what?  Now you answer the question of whether you think that the
system print dialog belongs to chrome after you set chrome to use it
instead of its own print dialog.

What do you mean by "belongs to"? From a user perspective a user is in
Chrome and then they print from Chrome.

Not the desktop.

Those are different things.

Now with the print dialog, it is a tied to the system, much as the color
selector is or the mouse pointer or the close button or even the menus
themselves! Lots of things which are standardized because they are tied to
code provided by the system. But, to get back to the print dialog, Chrome
calls the system feature and sends information to it... different programs
can even modify the dialog.

But you know all of this. It is a side issue filled with absurdities where
you want to make it seem like a user using the Print menu item in the
program they are using is going "out" of the program in the same way that
clicking on the desktop (which is not a part of the program at all) is going
out of the program.

False equivalency on your part. You know better. This is a sure sign you are
just screwing around trying to make it seem like your desktop work-around
method is similar. It is not.

So now that we know this where do we go from here?

The user's "perspective" is irrelevant.

Yes, because it is shared.  It is not part of any particular program.

The system print dialog is not part of the program at all.

An equivalency is not false just because you wish it to be.

Well, where not going to the land of denial, which is where you're trying

LOL! How evil... I "deny" that using a Print menu item in a program is not
leaving the program in the same way clicking on the desktop is.

Really, Owl, you have no leg to stand on here. You are just being silly.

* File > Print. This is a standard feature of most programs...
  which ties to system services.

* Clicking the desktop: This is not going outside the program

No matter how you try two twist things I think we can pretty much leave it
here: you will never admit this is true because to do so shows you know
Linux lacks a feature of another OS and admitting that is against your
religion.

Current debate with Owl:

* Owl

He engaged in some pretty cool advocacy. He showed he could do with Linux
quite a few things that can be done on a Mac... though it quickly became
clear he had to re-do his set up with what was and was not available. So he
presented Linux as being configurable but not having as much connection with
context as OS X. Fine. Each has strengths and we learned.

Then Owl decided this was not good enough and that one should see clicking
on the desktop to get a task done (leaving the program you are working on)
to be the same as using File > Print because the print dialog is controlled
by the system so it is also leaving the program. Utter nonsense.

How did I redo my system with something that's not available?

Jog my memory.  Do you consider the system-wide Print Dialog to be a
part of Chrome?

Already answered and irrelevant... let's focus on your claim that clicking
on the desktop to get a task done (leaving the program you are working on)
to be the same as using File > Print because the print dialog is controlled
by the system so it is also leaving the program. Utter nonsense... and hence
why you try to play semantic games and change the topic when it is noted.

Comes down to you know your position is completely indefensible.
