print context and other useful information

[Ferdinand]

I have already created a blueprint, which is also valid for most other reports (except generic numbered reports like PO,SO, Invoices etc
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+spec/print-screen-defaults

It is really almost impossible to "work" with the current reports (Example most stock reports) as many/most of the elements described in the blueprint are missing.
After a while we found our self with numerous pages and without making an immediate hard copy of the screen and writing the context (or what we believe the context could be) manually on the paper we just had to throw everything in the waste basket, because nobody new any more why/when/what was the print request.

Even if it is difficult to accomplish a nice and comprehensible layout for context it is mandatory for successful implementation.

Pls ASAP.

You mean, as a developer, to be able to see how a repport/form had been
called?

I have put that at my Koo version, several months ago. You can switch on the
"development mode" in koo, and then at the "view logs" page, you see
additional info like the object model, ids, context and domain.

Does that help?

Thank - but more No than Yes ;-)

The user clicks "Print Screen" and should get a printout which can be shipped to other persons - these also must know the information mentioned above to be able to understand the printed content

- I do no see users working in dev mode.

I thought you wanted that for yourself (ie. development mode).

Then, you mean, as we had said back then, to have more "criteria" information
printed inside the report. I see..

I agree to Ferdinand.

Thanks everyone.
This should be considered for post-v6.
