Summary0000512: Better guide dialog
DescriptionThere should be better guide dialog. When I try to add more than one guide, dialog is allways closed after adding (Ok click). There should be more intuitive behavior, I think:

1) To add guide, I type value and then click to Add button (whole Guide dialog is still open)
[new solution in progress]

2) To change guide, there should be button "Edit". After clicking on it, should be displayed next dialog with more options. One for value and another for example "Multiples of this value" for guides in typed value multiples.
[edit is by doubleclick in separate dialog]

3) There should be option to lock every guide separate. Locked guide should be displayed for example with other color in work space.

4) When I select guide in dialog, this guide should be highlighted in work space with other color or by blinking.
[DONE]
TagsNo tags attached.

I do agree with all 4 suggestions, they would surely improve the usability of this dialog. I've just experienced the same incertainty how to add/edit guide coordinates.

There should by option "All pages" too. This option should make guide on all pages in the document.

Maybe there should be text option to specify pages where guides can be (Similar as in the print dialog, when you specify pages to print .. '1, 2, 8, 12' for example)

Maybe this should be cross-referenced with bug 0000356 , since that bug is assigned already and features similiar proposals.

This is not duplicate bug. Look at 0000356, there are only described some bugs, but in this bug report is something more, isn't it? This is the reason for 'feature' severity...

For example point 3) about separate locking ... is something else in 356? Or something about guide highlighting?

It's very easy to close bug... but this bug isn't duplicate at all.

The reason I closed this bug is to combine the tasks for 356. Someone is working on these issues right now. I noted the issues in this bug in 0000356.
