If you want to share recipes from Web sites, just click "like" and let 
your friends pick them up from your FB page...

... no need to dick around with the "Finder" or printing out copies...

... that's so last century...  just like the Mac...

My browser has the option of created a PDF from the print dialogue, or 
just saving the html document & assorted ancillary files that go with it.

But no one does that with recipes, we just share links.  Non-problem 
solved.

Right. Same with Windows (in Windows 10 it even includes Print to PDF, with
older version you needed a third party driver).

But what about the actual use-case being discussed? Even with that Linux and
Windows handle it fairly well: File > Print, select to save as PDF, then dig
down to your Recipes folder (or Web Receipts or whatever).

OS X has a more streamlined method: if this is something you do often, as I
do, then you can do the same thing as you can on Linux and Windows, or you
can save a folder as a common destination and just click. With emailing, I
can also select to send the PDF to someone, including the URL if I want.

LINUX FILE SAVE DIALOGUES HAVE BOOKMARKS.

Maybe if you actually LEARNED MORE about Linux, rather than TALKING about 
it, you'd actually KNOW HOW IT WORKS.

Maybe you can actually try to be civil and talk about technology and not
scream. OS X save dialogs ALSO have bookmarks (or favorites). With at least
some Linux DEs, the dialogs for some programs have these favorites shown in
the menu... but they do not have a set of specific places just for saving
PDFs, nor do they have ones for sending to applications.

Add to that, the print dialogs are not even consistent. Looking at Mint Mate
17.2, for example, the print dialogs of the default web browser and word
processor are very different.

Maybe if YOU actually worked to use your OS and learn about it and others
you would not make such a fool of yourself as you attack others. :)

So SHOW it. I mean, really... stop flapping that jaw and whining about sour
grapes and actually SHOW it.

> ...and way too much bandwidth has been wasted on this bikeshedding.

If you could actually FOCUS you would not waste so many posts trying to
understand simple concepts... or you could SHOW concepts you wanted to.

Really not hard. Just stop seeing the world as us vs. them and grow up a
little. Got it?

What do you think you showed there other than that to get a similar feature
as you have in OS X, saving a recipe to a Recipes folder with a menu option,
you have to actually LEAVE the program you are working with and right click
on the desktop... showing me to be correct about the weakness of the
solutions you are showing?

Clicking on the desktop is more efficient that your Byzantine solution
buried somewhere in the Print Dialog of all places.

Well, I say the bike shed should be blue.

Now we shall hear "Snit" tell us that the shed should be red, as that is 
how OS X does it "to reduce the errors" of he and his ilk running into it.

A complete lie about my views. This is what I mean: you and your herd are
incapable of being honest.

I never say Linux should be like OS X. Ever.

Here, to help you understand context: <http://youtu.be/mb3Y7xjwnoo>

You and your herd should watch it.

It is uploading but I am running out the door, but to help you understand
context: <http://youtu.be/mb3Y7xjwnoo>

Not edited other than to make the mouse pointer easier to see (and will not
be available until a few minutes after I posted this)... all ums and the
like left in and some missteps. Whatever.

Either you will get it or not. :)

Agreed.

And the only "sour grapes" around here are from the OS X fanboy that 
won't admit when Linux is more than capable for his crazy "use case".

Nobody said it was not "capable" - but if you think it can do what I show
for OS X then why not show it? Why doesn't Owl who is a much better advocate
than you? 

Why can't any of the herd support their claims?

Here is what has been going one:

1) I show a feature... a standard feature I need to make no changes on my
system to show off in the context of a fully working system. The only change
I might make is to add a new feature in discussion (say the "Word Count"
action I added)

2) Owl modifies his system to show a similar feature. Fine. Nobody expects
his system to have all the features mine does. But he ALSO removes old
options to make it so his menus do not grow. If he did not do this he would
have dozens of options in his menus. This would be absurd.

3) This is not an issue with my system (well, not as much of one) because my
system uses an OS which better recognizes context and provides more places
to put your added scripts (say PDF Services in the dialog where you
generally save PDFs, the print dialog, as opposed to having to click off the
program and run the script from the desktop...)

In other words: Owl can show a workflow for any small subset of features I
show but his system is limited to doing only a few of these well at a time.
On OS X I can do them ALL... and do them well. I show this here:
<https://youtu.be/mb3Y7xjwnoo>.

Even then I leave things out... but it gives a good idea of what is meant by
CONTEXT and STREAMLINED.

Maybe it is like trying to tell a blind person what a rainbow looks like -
the Linux "advocates" just do not have the capacity to see.

Yeah, it thinks "Save to Recipes Folder" is proper context for a spreadsheet
file.

You really don't "get" the desktop metaphor, do you?  Not to mention your 
hipocrisy of crowing about how the OS X Print Dialog is a *system-wide*
feature available to any app that prints, but now acting like this same
Print Dialog is somehow "part of the application."

"CONTEXT" and "STREAMLINED" like having a "Save to Recipes Folder" menu item
in a spreadsheet's Print Dialog?

Sigh. No changes I do not speak of. When I was adding the word count feature
I noted it. When I worked to replicate your file browser PDF converter I
noted it. But overall the features I listed are still there.

I have removed the Kid's Dictionary on my system because I do not use it -
my kids do, but I added one for the urban dictionary. I also removed the one
for man pages because I do not use it.

So minor changes here and there, but nothing I have hidden and no major
changes to my system just to show doing task X. My system is set to do ANY
of the tasks I am likely to want to do without fiddling with the services.

Doing so defeats the purpose.

Nor for demo purposes it makes sense for you or I to add one to show it can
be done. Of course. It is not like I expect you to have a link to a kid's
dictionary or Urban dictionary sitting there just because I do.

What determines what items show up in your contextual menu on Linux? Maybe I
am mistaken about that. If I show the Services menu it shows how each item
has different context (though, oddly enough, it clearly knows more context
than it shows, for example the options for audio files are shown just in the
"Files and Folders" area, but it clearly only applies to audio files. So not
perfect.

Again, you can work as hard as you want to miss the point but I show it
here: <https://youtu.be/mb3Y7xjwnoo>

Again, you can work to not understand, but not sure it offers any value.

It is a part of the system AVAILABLE in the application... not by going to
your desktop. That is the point.

When you were able to replicate roughly what I showed you engaged in some
good advocacy. Now you are beginning to realize the overall picture more and
see how Linux is IN THIS AREA behind OS X and you are not handling it well.

Sour grapes is what it comes down to.

Again: going out of your way to miss the point.

Yeah, all my unquotable lies. Whatever.

At this point you are going out of your way to miss the point. Or maybe you
think you can show roughly what I show here: <https://youtu.be/mb3Y7xjwnoo>.

Show where Linux has the same type of understanding of context and
streamlining. Does not have to be done in the same way as OS X, of course.

But this is a video you will never make. :)

Comes down to you DO get the point you are pretending not to.

The OS X Print Dialog is NOT "part of the application."  It is not "inside"
the application.  Whenever you use it, you are going *outside* the application
to perform a SYSTEM-WIDE function -- running a COMMON SYSTEM PRINT DIALOG.
That is NO DIFFERENT from "going outside the application" to right-click
on the desktop.  If the Print Dialog belonged to the application, then
fixed-context items, such as your "Save to Recipes Folder," would not appear
across applications where they made no sense.

Yes, we can play semantic games all day... but you know what is meant.

Now that you realize Linux is IN THIS AREA behind OS X you are playing
games. OK.

Using a print dialog in a program is no different than going to the desktop.
LOL!

Do you even read what you post?

More game playing by you.

The color selector is provided by the system, too, but is a part of many OS
X apps. And the font selector. And the text tools.

And a lot more.

Hey, same with Linux for some of those... GNOME also provides a print
dialog. And a Save dialog. For use with applications.

OH NO! Run for the hills!

LOL!
