When you print to a PDF, is very annoying to then have to go to look for te file in the ~/PDF folder.
When I print to a PDF is because I want to save a portable version of my work, or becasue I want to send it by email.

So my idea is to create a script that works as a post-process for the cups-pdf backend.

The result is:
Every time you print to PDF you get a Save As Dialog that also has a "Don't save, Send by email" button

In the attached ubuntuforums thread I have a quick and dirty hack that does exactly this,

Wireless Drivers Patched for Injection  
Written by mexlinux the 11 Mar 08 at 15:47. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Wireless Drivers should come patched for injection in order to make it faster and easier to use tools like aircrack.
Having a patched driver won't afect a user that does not need injection, and will make life much easier for a user that needs it.
That would also convert the Live CD into an Network Security Tool, just like wifiway.

Use KDE apps when better  
Written by mexlinux the 29 Feb 08 at 00:31. Category: Installation. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
Ubuntu uses only GNOME apps by default, buts sometimes, many KDE apps are better than the GNOME counterparts, but none is installed by default examples: amarok, k3b, kget, etc.

Who cares if the app comes from KDE or GNOME?

We want a better system, nomatter where the app comes from.
