[Ipe-discuss] feature request for ipe and ipetoipe: checkbox "add view to list of lastviews"

[zhengdao at iastate.edu]

Maybe we could have a view sorter which shows all views, and
under each view there is a check box that marks it. The
interpretation of the marks is left to ipetoipe (to print or
not print those marked pages), or whatever post-processing
program that can read the marks. Just a thought.
