Why a plugin and not a solution within Koha? Because it wouldn't fit besides the existing label editor? Maybe it could use a part of it like the batch process? We also have the quick label printing where a little of that is possible, but not quite. But they are formatted to be changed by CSS easily. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

That is correct. The solution we've come up with needs to handle label sheets with multiple sizes of labels. We've created a plugin that generates labels using HTML and CSS, rather than generating PDFs. I decided to go the plugin route do to the radical difference in functionality and the ability to react to the need for changes. Once the plugin can be considered 'stable' I would like to get community consideration on integrating the plugin functionality into Koha proper. I think the biggest consideration is that all the power this label printer plugin comes with is at the cost of simplicity. I think we'd need to keep the existing label maker as well. I don't think there would be an easy upgrade path. https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-label-maker -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
