hi, yesterday, franz has done a change to the preview mode that, in my eyes, should first be discussed by the scribus users.
""" r17909 by fschmid - First committ to make the "Preview Mode" look more like in other Applications First committ to make the "Preview Mode" look more like in other Applications - No more editing possible. - PDF Links linking to the same document are working now when activated. http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus-commit/2012-November/005391.html """ on the one side it is certainly useful to have a way to test the pdf forms in scribus, but -- on the other side -- i'm not sure that disabling the editing in preview mode is a change that will please everybody. some issues i'm aware of: - switching the preview mode on and off can be very slow (so people may want to stay in preview mode while doing visual tweaks). - the canvas can be very cluttered, and one may want to switch to the preview mode to do further changes without being disturbed by guides, invisible frame borders & co. - we already have other links that work in the edit mode (footnotes) and will have more of them in the future (TOC, references, ...): shouldn't pdf links work just like the other references? i would be interested in hearing what the scribus users think: do you need the editing capabilities while being in preview mode? ciao a.l.e -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
