Hello, your subject line is hinting, that you either want to provide some humour to this list (thank you) - or (hopefully not) that you made a small mistake and wrote to the wrong address.
Scribus is free software, this includes the freedom to use indesign if you like that better or if you really need your own preference of fluid workflow. We would not be upset. There is indeed a very small minority among the Scribus users, they are friendly and harmless, and they believe that there is "no reason" for any aspects of Scribus. There are even two users (I shall not give names) who think that some researcher had monkeys on keyboards for some stupid experiment about poetry - and it resulted in the first Scribus versions. So much better than any poem. Otherwise the "any reason" is always the choices of our beloved developers, whom you can see on the website with their photo and their names. They listen to our input and most of their choices are good. They also look at this list (hello guys). I consider myself a regular and faithful user and appreciate Scribus a lot and I have over the years learnt about the in-page-text-frames where I can do most of the immediate editing needed while having visual feedback. And I also learnt about the story editor and why it is called that name. I am still open minded about story editor and use it for work with massive amounts of text, for importing etc. The only aspect I do not enjoy about Story Editor is the column on the left where I can assign styles and have a good overview of all the styles through my stories. I have to click twice, where the first click is totally useless as it only provides one option: to click on a pull-down list of my styles. If any other user could help me to understand or to get rid of the surplus click then I would like it even more. So why do I have more than ten hammers in my workshop? Because each hammer is almost perfect for certain jobs, while not so great for other jobs. I can get "the same result" on certain jobs with several of my hammers (but would not even try with some others) and it is the same with Scribus: Your documents might not be very complex (or they might) but sometimes the story editor is best to concentrate on the content, if your page is visually very dense. And sometimes a direct edit directly in a text frame is all that you need. hth Martin On 11.03.2021 03:28, Tarvo Kaspar Toome wrote: > hello, is there any reason why texttool works the way it does in scribus? > the indesign texttool is more suitable for fluent workflow. > so why use 2 tools to get the same result what one should be doing? > > > _______________ > tarvo kaspar toome > > GSM: +372 56 654 310 > E-post: [email protected] > Skype: tarvokaspartoome > WWW: kaspar.imelaps.ee > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: > <http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/attachments/20210311/ada7f07e/attachment.htm> > ___ > Scribus Mailing List: [email protected] > Edit your options or unsubscribe: > http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus > See also: > http://wiki.scribus.net > http://forums.scribus.net > -- ZASKE Martin responsable GʊGʊ BP 50 - Bassila - Bénin tel GʊGʊ 66.66.11.11 tel pers 97.44.62.95 ___ Scribus Mailing List: [email protected] Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net
