Add Printing Support to ProcessInfoDialog

Documentation Page

https://wiki.idempiere.org/en/NF10_Print_Support_Process_Info_Dialog

use case: 1. open generate shipment (manual) 2. run generate 3. popup - "this.m_logs" is null (this happens only when no shipment generated - eg gardenworld sales order 50001, 50002)

ISSUE: Cannot read the array length because "this.m_logs" is null
tested in version: 10.0.0.202208051127

@Peter Takacs committed PR after some tuning last requested change I assume it is quite simple and powered print feature.

thanks for idea we hope make idempiere more usable.

Hi @Norbert Bede ,

• Yes, printing should depends solely on whether the linked document is printable.

• For feature parity with the legacy generate shipment(manual) form, the minimum is to have a “print all” option (as 1 pdf). I think having a print icon next to each linked document is not a must here.

• For print all, not a must to have selection of print format (the legacy form doesn’t provide that).

• Selection of print format should follow existing rule.

@Heng Sin Low , @Carlos Ruiz i write here some use cases, assumptions, topic to talk, clarify before we start any development

• the print can be run from info window process info result and process related not to info window - am I right ?

• we assume the process able to generate 1 or N documents

• the user should print 1 document with 1 print button 1 or all (1 pdf) documents, another option print each by clicking on “link print icon”

• print button open pdf preview, user change/select new print format then run browser/operating system print dialog - the print resolve local printer or IP printer registered on LAN

• print format will be loaded according to default from doctype>print format defaults

please provide feedback clarify the goal of this improvment.
