Post Batch Print All Movies Suggestion
I love the format of the "Manage" .. "Print Page" feature. It is nice to have a hard copy handy.

However, I have looked and cannot find:

a) a way to print all movies in the collection in the same format as the "Manage" .. "Print Page" feature, unless of course you do it while each movie is selected.

b) a "bind to length" feature (or "fit to page") to force the print data to one page, especially in the instance that there will be less than 1/4 page trailing.

The second feature would be nice. The first feature, I think, necessary.

What do you think? :idea:

There are two report editors, a simpler one and an advanced report builder. You can use them to create your own reports containing information you need.

We will check if it's possible with the currently used report engine (I believe not).

I wrote that I would like print all movies "in the same format as the "Manage" .. "Print Page" feature, with a single print command.

I assume then that the when I choose "Manage" ... "Print Page" I am printing an installed report. If that is so, can you provide the template for it so we do not have to re-create it in the report builder?

No, it isn't a report. This feature just sends the current page to your printer, scaling it to fit the page. It does not use any reports at all.
