Hai,

I would like to run an ‘onAction’ method after hitting the buttons (but at least the print button) on the print preview. Would that be possible?

Example:

- ask for a confirmation after printing. When I want to show a dialog after printing I can just call it after a controller.print()… When I do that when I do a controller.printPreview() the dialog shows up on top of the preview.
