Also, master pages have been used for at least a decade, I'd like to know more about the consequences. This would be a big change indeed, best put somewhere down the roadmap.Ĭhristoph: Sounds complicated again, but who knows. Maybe Master Pages should be abandoned altogether, in favor of allowing all objects to have an attribute that allows them to appear on all pages, odd pages, even pages, or a list of pages. From experience I know that people learn things easier, when the concepts seem familiar. In this case it would just beīit different: applying changes to master pages. those that use the master page, single pages and range)Ĭhristoph: Again, this is just the extension of an already existing concept, ie, applying master pages to existing pages. Scribus would then bring up a dialog similar to the current 'Apply Master Page' dialog. Once the editing is finished, the user would have to click on the edit button in the status bar again. There's one way to do it in a certain program (here: the many page features and layers), which can also be followed with other features (master Just remember the many questions regarding very basic operations. At least for experienced users.Ĭhristoph: No. Intuitive means one can figure out the feature by oneself, To disconnect an item from the master page and use it only on the current page, one could use the 'Send to Layer' feature: Each document has at least one layer, so that sending the item to 'Background' (or any other layer in the current document) should be enough to remove the item from the master page.Ĭhristoph: If properly documented, I think this would be rather intuitive, because it simply extends the concept of layers (see my reply to Greg).

There should also be a spin box to set the opacity of the actual page content, so that users can check how changes to the master page will affect the layout as a whole. When it comes to editing an item only on the current page, there should be a second button to switch on the editing mode for master page items on the currently selected page. Again, technically the same as opening in the document outline, except that the user doesn't have to find out which master page is used for the current page. Have a button beside the page list that would open the master page of the currently selected page for editing. This would have the same effect as selecting the master page in the Document Outline. List all master pages in the page list, so that the master page can be directly edited by selecting it in the list.
