      I create a result file which varies in width.
      Let’s say with up to 100 characters in one line I would like to print it in portrait (without line wrap)
      From 101 to 160 characters I would like to print in landscape.
      From 161 to 200 character I would print 2 pages in portrait (I create 2 documents and take care for what comes on which side)
      …
      Now I have to care that for printing I set the corrrect orientation for each file (only if I do not use the default setting) and naturally I print some files with the wrong orientation (waste of paper, toner and energy)

      Could I have a command line parameter which allows to provide the printer orientation exactly for the file I am opening?

      That would be a nice feature for me.
      e.g
      npp++ -orientation_portrait file.txt
      npp++ -orientation_landscape file.txt

      Thanks
      Thomas
