No, English is the standard language so it is not that painful to accord everybody on _E or _O. Come on, how many people use english even without noticing ?
Since i will need this functionality, I will first have a look at the Scribus code, understand its logic and propose a patch. If the community doesn't like that patch, then it will not be added. But to me, it is logic to code it that way. I don't mean it is for everyone else. Another point : pain make people move; So will I. let me see that code... > Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2014 13:06:12 +0200 > From: ale.comp_06 at xox.ch > To: scribus at lists.scribus.net > Subject: Re: [scribus] Keep master page logic when modifying page order > > hi > > as somebody said long time ago (and got a mention for it in a book. with > picture): even master pages should go to the the even side and odd ones > on the odd side. > > of course, you can use the extension you prefer, but, please, we should, > not, have, a logic, for them, in scribus. > (if you need a reason for it: in italian it will be _P and _D... and > scribus should automatically translate them according to the UI > language? brrrr...) > > i guess that the solution is somehow simple: in non single page layouts, > the master pages should be edited in a multiple page view and not as > single pages. > > a simple solution, but somebody has to program it. any volunteer? > > ciao > a.l.e > > > Yes, > > > > The arrange page is a solution but not optimal.
