(In reply to Gabor Kelemen from comment #0) > I think it should be turned on by default, like in the previous version. The choice was to have it off, preventing delay issues. OTOH, if one can turn it off and it keeps that setting, it would be fine too. From what I see, Preview checkbox remembers the last setting. The checkbox is set to active in the UI file. Don't see where the option is switched off (neither how it's stored). So could you please take a look, Daniel.

I see, it was bug #67905 - but in most desktop use cases I think there is enough processing power for the preview rendering, while I understand there are situations when there isn't. But this is a VERY UX question :). @Heiko: About turning it on / off by default, there is this key (without an xcs schema... would be nicer to have) under ooo.VCL/PrintDialog/HasPreview that is not set by default and the code interprets != "true" (including: empty) as a false value; see vcl/source/window/printdlg.cxx see void PrintDialog::readFromSettings() Changed the default to true https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/66351/ but that's effective only when there is no registry, ie. completely new installation. Not a big deal anyway. heiko tietze committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/dcf185ea162a4f593c66639cb3aebdc9c3d1a60f%5E%21 Resolves: tdf#122633 - Print dialog Preview is Off It will be available in 6.3.0.
