@Upma, Looks like yout primary task is being handled.

The interface seems to be alluding to a secondary workflow but is not as usable.

Sure.

What is the logic behind not showing the other pictures when some of them are multiple selected?? Funny...:-)

@Sunil: I agree that user would know the filename of the picture for which he launched the print wizard. But to select&print other picture from the bunch of similar pictures, filename is required. So filename would help user to select the right picture from the thumbnail(small) view.

Well this is interesting, but I somehow think that the filename is very important (think about someone color blind) especially considering that you are choosing this out of the thumbnail in the print window where again there is no file name.

Filename makes a ton of a difference, especially to advanced users or prolific clickers.

I usually have 5-6 photos taken within a spam of 2-3 seconds. So more often than not, I know the filename I am printing as difference is barely visible in thumbnails.

Now going by that methaphor and being the devil's advocate, in this case, user has already picked the photo - so filename not needed. He is going to pick another photo - uses thumbnail - again filename not needed - what do you say?
