Add printing support

I want to be able to print, period!

There are some applescripts here for quickly getting you text into TextEdit where you can then print.

Since printing is such a fundamental feature, let's talk about it -- and what 'flexible ways' (to quote the original post) we'd like to print. To start off, I think there should be the following options:

What to print
1. Print current note
2. Print selected notes/folders
3. Print entire notebook
4. Print summary of entire notebook / selected notes: notebook hierarchy + 2 or x lines of each note contained within

How to print
1. Options for which columns to print (including custom columns); and for indication of note's place within notebook hierarchy
2. Page break between notes
3. Line between notes; options for dashed/undashed line, space between entries
4. Headers; options for date of printing, notebook name

... any further ideas?

These might also be good options for "File > Export" as well - whether it be concatenating selected notes into an RTF or into an HTML page. Could the code be recycled?

I would be delighted - and relieved - to find all joewiz’ suggestions for printing implemented. But for the moment maybe we could at least get options to print selected folder or print selected note? I’m really waiting for this before I commit fully to Mori instead of HBN.

Thanks.

Here's a concrete example of how I needed (wanted|wished|expected) to be able to print from Mori today: I have a stack of notes in a folder, each with a star rating. I wanted to be able to select all the notes (or the parent folder), select print, and have the notes printed one after the other (without page breaks) with the stars printing in their own column.

I'm not sure why this needs to be a "feature request..." It's such obvious functionality that pressing Cmd-P should print the current page that it's basically a bug that it doesn't happen, Applescript workarounds notwithstanding.

The handiest feature that Mori could have (at least for me) for implementing GTD would be an easy print to 3x5 cards. And by easy I mean highlight an entry and click an icon. I want my @errands list in my pocket when I'm out and about, not on my computer at home.

I use franklin planner so the ability to print the information on franklin planner size pages would be wonderful. Or print on regular page, but layout form with two pages to one sheet of paper would be nice.

I can't believe this doesn't print. Back to HBN for me.

*sigh* I SO want this program to work for me so I can support it, but no printing is a clear deal-breaker, how silly.

A very easy and intuitive print option method used by many outliners is to just print it exactly the way you have it displayed on-screen, with expanded topics expanded and unexpanded topics unexpanded - WYSIWYG. This works really well with programs that allow filtering (e.g. InControl) on column contents.

Basic printing is supported in Mori 1.2 preview. You can download that from this page:

I'm using 1.2. It only ever prints one topic, without its children, no matter what I select. Am I missing something?

I'm having the same problem too- it only prints one topic at a time. I am currently using Mori 53. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance.

That's all that will be directly support for Mori 1.2, but you can use applescript to combine and print larger sections of a notebook. [One this page](http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/node/401) you can download a collection of Scripts that work with Mori. Included in the collection are two scripts for assembling the contents of your notebook into a single text document that can then be printed. One of the scripts just assembled the entry titles, the other assembles the entry titles together with the entry note.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Mori 1.2 can now do basic printing of an entry's attached note. You can use applescripts to assemble entry titles for printing. I'm closing this issue, please create a new issue for other specific printing requests.
