Screenshot of what i think enchantment would be like.
Hello and sry to bother you , today at work i came up with a possible good
feature that would be great to have in Writer.
I will try to describe my idea from the user's point of view.
### Situation so far ###
When you make a writer document , its always a big-chunk of text (data etc).
You can add bookmarks and other stuff to move around in the document, but its
always organised in a "serial" way.
### Proposal(s) ###
1.Instead of having in each document the data arranged in a "serial" way, make
the data "re-arrangeable" (dunno if such a word exists) in sections that will
appear as different portions of the same document. Each section will behave
seperately from the rest. Just like in calc where in each file you can have
many sheets included , think of a document where you can start with a page
(just like now) and further while typing , add another "chapter" where u can
work in parallel. You can jump at different "chapters" fast , without losing
the point you were working at.
2. These "chapters" can also be used as default bookmarks while exporting to
pdf.
3. The GUI can even go further , by letting the user have 2 different
"chapters" from the same document, viewed side-by-side at the same time.
4. While printing , user can be asked whether to pring all chapters etc.
5. When exporting to other formats (microsfoot etc) , you can just add (in the
old serial way) , one "chapter" after another to make the compatible format
file.
### Typical examples where is can be usefull ###
1.Think of a book with many chapters. When u write it, instead of having to
make each chapter hard to find or even save them in different files, u can now
have all of them in one piece and "jump" in and out of each "chapter" fast
without searching .
2. when typing an article and want to make a reference list right-away you can
use another "chapter" as a temporary notepad , working at the same time and
finishing it at the end.
### Worst case scenario ###
Feature is not usefull and noone uses it
I hope my description was usefull and understood , i add a picture of what i
think it would be like.
Thank you for your time !!!
ETC i hope my idea isnt already included somewhere ,and i havent discovered it
yet (plz dont flame me if so :/ )
