<DIV><SPAN class=812261519-09082010><FONT face=Arial size=2>release early,
release often: I'm working on a plugin that should help you creating print
compositions. Something like the QuickPrint plugin. The main idea was to create
a push button solution with some flexibility. The user can define the available
paper sizes and scales in an XML file (preferences/preferences.xml). And there
is some basic support for creating your own layouts (layouts/layouts.xml); eg.
footer, header, text, icons, arrows etc. These layouts should then work with all
available papersizes. </FONT></SPAN>

with the layouts defined in the layouts.xml file and you should get a first
