Thanks for the details on the bugs, Smokey


And an update on something I realised today…
  for the lazy ones only J…


  a roundabout way to get at the page-title..

Before hitting -P to print, try this...
  hit -I ["Page Info" shortcut - in the "Edit" menu].


You can select the text (the page-title at the top) there and use  
that while saving as pdf.
  In case this is something everyone has been doing anyways.. sorry  
about the spam. :(

Replying to my own post, and before I even send it. JJ

  In the Page Info window, you need manually select the text in the  
"Title:" field
*** The-First-Time-Only. ***

   After that, every-time irritating you call it up - even for a  
different tab/window in Camino,
  this window has the title already highlighted and ready to copy.

(Developers, intentional or serendipitous?)

So my print command goes like this..

-I	(Call up Page Info)
-C	(Copy - select the Title Text if this is the first time I'm using  
Page Info like this, else would already be highlighted).
-W	(Dismiss/close Page Info)
-P	(Print - so far so good. Now the slightly irritating part -  
selecting "Save as PDF" on the Print Dialogue)
  ----select [PDF]-->[Save as PDF…]  — Is there a better/quicker way  
to get at this than having to click-click ?
-V (Paste the copied Page Title; it replaces the preselected text in  
the "Save As" dialogue - which was probably just ".pdf" anyway.)


Thanks for your patience.
