There really is no "context awareness" at all, right? It just presents a group of default options and allows you to add to those willy nilly without regard for context.

I am sincere. You seem to not understand the concept of context. I show a feature and you modify your system to have THAT feature. I show another and you modify your system to have the new one but not the old. What I am talking about is having all these features: a whole suite of integrated tools. Does not mean, of course, that your system should be like mine. Maybe you want a different set of tools - the different man tools, for example, seem to interest you more than they do me. And I like a Facebook share but not a Twitter. Maybe you like the other. But the overall point is not to be able to do ONE of these tasks as a time but a system that gives you efficiency in all of the ones you want. Again, a long and rambling video, but I point that out here: <https://youtu.be/mb3Y7xjwnoo>. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

Why would I want to print a PDF file from the file manager? I'm working on a file is some application when I decide to save or print it...

Peter keeps setting the threads up for crossposting and crossposting himself. He also renamed the threads in dishonest ways... when he does I often respond by starting a new thread with an HONEST title. You are whining about my response to his dishonest and immoral behavior. So which is worse: his dishonest and immoral behavior or my reasonable though perhaps over-done responses (it would make sense to not respond to his trolling, or yours, but I tend to anyway). Clearly you have already made up your mind. > Why would I want to print a PDF file from the file manager? One example: I have a recipe I want to give someone a printed copy of. I just go to it in my file manager and print. Done. But that is not even what the topic is... you moved goal posts. *Peter* was talking about converting other file types to PDF from the file browser... which was ALSO a change of topic. He never gave a use-case for doing so that I know of, but he noted he can do it on Linux (though he gave no evidence) and Owl showed that he could do so for various file types on Linux... and then I showed I could do much the same on OS X (mine handles more file types but has a number of weaknesses and is pretty sloppy... but it was done just to see if it could be done). Peter then lied about this saying I got my code from Owl. Not only is this not true, even if it was it would not matter - the discussion was about what could be done on the different environments. > I'm working on a file is some application when I decide to save or print it... And THAT is the task that started this whole discussion! Here, the video that shows it: <https://youtu.be/uN5eoL00kuk>. Thank you! Yes... this seems the more common need: and what *I* was talking about before Peter moved goal posts. I noted a tool common on the OS X environment which allows users to not only print and save as PDF, but also to direct the PDF to be sent to a specific folder (say recipes or web receipts) or even to be sent to a different program (say to an email client). These things clearly can be done in Linux... save to PDF and select a spot through a file dialog and then, perhaps, open the file as needed in another program) but I was noting the nice streamlined workflow. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

I > just go to it in my file manager and print. Done. I'd just double click the file and print it, but not really. If I wanted to give anybody a recipe from a Web site I'd just email them a link. That way I get productivity, efficiency, and error reduction. [remaining babble snipped unread]
