Hi,
to fulfill the needs of Peter's last dialog UI design, there is a field
in the dialog now for short descriptions of the quick presets. To allow
individual, user-friendy help texts there (and not simply list the
options which get set by the quick preset) I have added the new
*APPrinterPresetDescription <choice>: "<description>"
keyword and translations for it. I also added fallback rules for filling
the description field when the new keyword is not used or when the
presets come from a fallback (like the PrintoutMode option in Foomatic
PPDs).
For multi-function printers I have added the new widget hint
"faxnumber", so that one can tell that a string option represents a fax
number and so one can add a button to the string input field which opens
the user's address book.

Click "History" at the bottom to visualize only the changes.
Please take these new extensions into account for the dialog.
