vscode.printcode's Issues

Not working

installed it on VS under Ubuntu.

When triggering the PrintCode command nothing happens. No message in the output window, no error in the developer tools

Deprecated extension?

Isidor here from the VS Code team,

We noticed that this extension has not be updated in a long time. Is it deprecated?
If yes, we can mark it as deprecated. More details can be found here https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension#deprecating-extensions

Missing line number on fist page.

Im trying print some code, but i have no line number on fist page, on Firefox browser.
But on Chrome has line number.
Firefox has custom header, Chrome not while printing.

When choosing "PrintCode" from the F1 menu, I just get a new web page saying "site cannot be reached".

Feature Request: Reflect code folding on printout

I have an ASP file with a whole bunch of functions defined. I display the file as function names only, by using the Code Folding feature of VSCode.

When printing out, I would like it if the printout reflected the way I have the code folded. If it's not visible on screen, don't print it. (Maybe add a little "+" icon in the left margin to show that something is folded here, just as it does on screen.)

Thank you so much for this plugin. I laughed out loud when I realized VSCode doesn't have a print function!

When code is longer than 1 page - line numbers do not print, only at the last page

When code is longer than 1 page - line numbers do not print to all pages, only at the last page.
Untitled-1.pdf

Command 'Printing: Print content of folder' resulted in an error (Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'scheme'))

VSCODE Dark theme in print

I need VSCODE Dark theme in print.
Either it has to select the defult theme in my vscode or else let me pick a theme during printing

Extra page

I'm not sure if it's Firefox, my print driver, or the extension, but for some reason I keep getting an extra (unneeded) page... no matter how much text is on the actual last page. I'm printing letter size (not A4), but I don't think that should matter. Any suggestions?

Print selected text only if selection is not empty

It's often desirable to print some snippet

A5 paper size

Could you please add settings option for A5 paper size?

"printcode.paperSize": {
	"type": "string",
	"description": "Paper size and orientation.",
	"enum": [
		"a4",
		"a4Land",
		"letter",
		"letterLand",
		"a5"
	],
	"default": "a4"
}

Thanks.

Can I print the theme colors?

I would like to print the theme colors and formatting, is this possible?

Link the markdown- color syntax

Hey, would be nice if the product would support the markdown color-syntax out of the box. In my opinion, the way to go. This would enormous boost your great product-value.

Does not work if default browser is IE11 on Windows 10

All I get if I leave the default settings is IE11 opening a blank tab. Switching to e.g. Chrome using

"printcode.browserPath": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"

works.

Include project name and relative file path in output

Hey thanks for the super useful ext 💯.

Would be useful to see the vscode project name and the file path relative to the project root somewhere in there the output - atm i'm just writing it in myself.

There is no matching command

I've tried uninstalling reinstalling and closing VSCode and opening again and have had no luck on seeing the PrintCode command on the command palette. Any way to fix this? Thanks

Prints in Black and White only

I have tried Chrome and Opera but cannot seem to get PrintCode to print in colour. It prints perfectly but only in Black & White so we lose all the syntax highlighting.

Cannot specify to use Microsoft Edge as non-default browser

As described (among a zillion places) at https://www.itworld.com/article/2943955/windows/how-to-script-microsofts-edge-browser.html one cannot launch Microsoft Edge using a " " command line.

This means that one cannot use "printcode.browserPath" to specify that PrintCode use Edge

Browser does not open in WSL

Running PrintCode in Remote-WSL fails to open the browser due to xdg-open not being installed and no default browser set.

Question about Letter and Legal, Request for Tabloid

Hi Nobuhito,

Thanks so much for your work on this extension, it is very useful!

I have a question and a feature request:

1. I notice that for the Letter and Legal paper types your mm measurements are different than I am used to:
   Letter 216mm x 279mm (I notice you use 280)
   Legal 216mm x 356mm (I notiec you use 357)
   Is there a reason for this?

2. Could you add support for Tabloid?
   279mm x 432mm

Much Thanks!
Scott

Print from 2nd instance of vscode

When i have multiple instances of vscode open (as i do have periodically), if i print from the second instance then the browser opens with the active file of the first instance.

Cannot use in remote-containers

How to reproduce:

1. run a docker container
2. mount into it with vscode remote-containers
3. install printcode from local installed extensions
4. print code and there's no response

Add Configuration to use non-default browser

Thank you for the clever workaround to fix the glaring miss on Microsoft's part as it pertains to print functionality!

There does, however, seem to be an issue with non-edge IE and this extension.

Could you create a configuration that would allow a user to select which browser to use? I'm not quite sure how this could be achieved, or if it is even possible.

Word Wrap

Having an issue with word wrap when printing. I'm printing to A4 size paper but PrintCode doesn't seem to include the full width of the paper for the code. It wraps the text, almost at half way across the page.
If I increase or decrease the font size it still wraps at that mid point across the page.
This shows the same in Chrome and Firefox

More print options

Right now it cannot print in landscape orientation, even switch to system print dialog. Any solution ? Thanks.

Print mode for shell scripts does not work

mode equals undefined when printing shell scripts. Looking through the source, the issue lies in how VS Code reports back the languageId.

VS Code uses shellscript for the languageId while CodeMirror expects it to be shell. This mismatch causes the language to be returned as undefined.

Adding the following in funcs.js after line 3 fixes the immediate issue but I'm sure there are other languages with similar mapping issues:

  if (language == 'shellscript') {
    language = 'shell';
  }

Let me know if you want me to submit a PR for this fix.

Can I print the whole project or all special type of scripts in directory ?

Print every file each time in project, such a miserable work. Made me despaired
Paper printed better be with title and layer relation flag ?

Trouble printing on a Mac

I am running Mac OS 10.11.6, Visual Studio Code 1.20.1. When I run PrintCode, an empty broswer window appears.

Color syntax between differents languages

The color syntax in some languages isn't properly printed, even not in some case.
In C++, there are only comments and number. In markdown, code blocks look like comments.
Then i installed a extension which change color of parenthesis each level of them.

So, is it possible to get the "VS Theme", kind of ?

EDIT: I just looked the source, it seems that the extension uses codemirror to color the text. I'm not an expert of vscode API but I'm sure there's a way to retrieve color data from the document and build your own HTML from these values.

Option to disable/enable ligatures

I had to go into Chrome Devtools to insert one line of CSS to remove the ligatures from my coding font so that my professor doesn't go "wtf are these symbols".
I feel like it would be better as a configuration option instead of having to manually set it each time.

About font color.

The font color is follow from VS Code?
Or from this PrintCode project?
Thank you.

How to add stylesheets?

I usually write code in AnyScript (yes, it's minor), and I want to be able to highlight the syntax using PrintCode.
Reading other related posts, I now know that I can go to CodeMirror, and somehow highlight my syntax (I'm not even sure this is correct...)
Could someone please help me through the steps to adding new stylesheets to PrintCode?

Default value for table [language]

Printed scrollbar covers last line on page

Version 3.0.0
Using default settings except for paper size, which I set to letter.
Browser: Edge

When printing in portrait on letter size, the HTML output looks good, but on the printout, a scrollbar is being printed over the last line on the page. This is occurring on every page.

🔥Can I print all files at once?

Loving this plugin.

Whenever I have to review a big amount of code, I print out the files I need to review, go to the park, and do this in the sun, under a tree.

One problem though. It can take a while to print out all files I need, since you can only print one file at a time. Would there be a way to print all my files, all folder structure, and all outlines? That would make my life so much easier? I'd have to work from under a tree 6 hours every day! :')

Hope someone can help. email me at vscode AT karsens DOT com

Mode HTMLEbmedded Doesn't Work

Trying to print a HTML Embedded file doesn't work and returns an error Uncaught TypeError: CodeMirror.multiplexingMode is not a function. To resolve include the addon/mode/multiplex library.

Print PHP

Every time I try to print a PHP page I get a blank page.

Issues with configuration

I added this to my user settings:

"printcode.fontSize": 10,
"printcode.lineNumbers": "off"

and the lineNumber still appear when i try to print.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Unable to print: No permission to use port undefined.

I am running latest version 3.0.0 on Windows 7 with Chrome as default browser and always get the same error when trying to print:

Unable to print: No permission to use port undefined. Please set different port number in User Settings: printcode.webServerPort and Reload Window.

I have tried different port numbers in the settings but nothing changes. Chrome always says:

Cannot print: localhost refused to connect.

I am not running any web server. Is this required in order to print?
