Summary | 0009406: Options in render frames aren't saved during copy/paste or close/reopen operations | ||||
Description | When copying or saving render frames, a number of parameters aren't saved to the sla file or copied to the clipboard including at least: font size, preamble edits, and positioning of the rendered element within the render frame. The expected behavior is that options selected under the tabs in the editor (opened by selecting 'edit source' in the right click dialog) should be copied with the element if it is copied, and also saved to the sla file. Presently since scribus doesn't save and restore these items, I have to manually re-insert them after reopening scribus or after copying an item to another page. Rendered elements are not always centered within the frame, requiring repositioning which as stated above isn't saved when copying or reopening. I am using version 1.5.0.svn 4 October 2010 installed from the Ubuntu PPA repository for scribus-trunk: http://ppa.launchpad.net/scribus/ppa/ubuntu | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | To reproduce these errors do the following: -create a new render frame -edit source to add some equation, eg: \Huge \begin{align} V_{loop} = -L \frac{dI}{dt} \color{red} -I\frac{dL}{dt} \notag \end{align} -select the fonts/headers tab, change the fontsize dropdown to 20pt, and add the following line under 'additional headers': \usepackage{color} -click 'OK' and the equation is rendered in large text with the second term in red -double click the frame and drag the rendered element to center it within the frame -now copy the render frame, and paste it into a new page: the fonts/headers options and re-positioning will be forgotten, hence the render will fail until you re-enter the options -save the sla file, then quit scribus -re-open the sla file in a new scribus, and again the fonts/headers options will be forgotten | ||||
Additional Information | Also, I guess this is a feature request, but it would be nice if in addition to the dropdown for the render program, there was a text field where a user could input specific render program command line syntax, eg. to produce eps output instead of pdfs from tex, and maybe to adjust the way output is framed... Excellent work BTW, scribus has come a long way in recent history. Thanks! | ||||
