Description : virtual printer for viewing a document before printing
Boomaga (BOOklet MAnager) is a virtual printer for viewing a document before
printing it out using the physical printer.
The program is very simple to work with. Running any program, click "print"
and select "Boomaga" to see in several seconds (CUPS takes some time to
respond) the Boomaga window open.
If you print out one more document, it gets added to the previous one, and you
can also print them out as one.
Regardless of whether your printer supports duplex printing or not, you would
be able to easily print on both sides of the sheet.
- why is this package useful/relevant?
Seems to make people's life easier :)
- is it a dependency for another package?
Not that I know of.
- do you use it?
Yes
- if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it compare?
Not that I know of. I have searched the web without luck.
- how do you plan to maintain it?
Personal package, but I'm open to comaintainers. I do follow Qt/KDE's team rules
for packaging/keeping repos and I don't plan to change that.
