DT 4.1, printing several documents gives me screenshot instead

When I select a single PDF document in DT and then CMD-P, I can send it to a printer. When I select three PDF documents in DT and then CMD-P, I get a screenshot of DT’s main window with the selected documents instead of the three documents being sent to the printer.

I suppose that this difference in behavior is not intentional? I’m still on macOS 15 (15.6.1, to be precise).

Multiple documents can’t be printed at once but the item list (List and Icon views) is printable and that’s probably what you did.

I did Cmd-P in both cases. I know that DT is not a Finder replacement, but the latter does send several selected documents to the printer on Cmd-P. Perhaps DT could, sometime, behave the same? To print a screenshot of a list view when several documents are selected goes against the principle of least surprise, IMO.

Thanks. I’m more of a keyboard person, but of course, being on a Mac, I should drag&drop more often.
