I agree that the drop down list would be more user friendly.
OK
What I wanted to say is that without the drop down list it would be easier to add other templates by just adding the files.
Katrin has addressed this point.
And imagine that each and every of the Koha languages would have it's own template(s). That would give a very long drop down list.
I am very dubious whether that is a real possibility, considering that it's been more more than four years since the feature was originally introduced, and only now is somebody adding support for a third language. In fact, I really hope that we have a better templating system in place long before somebody contemplates adding a fourth language, as requiring a user to change Perl code and binary files to customize their printed purchase orders is, to put it mildly, less than ideal.
BTW I tested an non-existing template (pdfformat::layout2pagesxx). It simply leads to an error message while printing: "Invalid PDF Format set - Please go to the systempreferences and set a valid pdfformat"
That still counts as broken. Better to constrain the user to options that are guaranteed to work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
