Other sane defaults: - guides should be in the foreground by default - scaling for superscript and subscript shouldn't be 100 % by deafult - gap between columns shouldn't be 0 by default - have the bleed settings "chained" by default - Set lowest allowed resolution for images in the Preflight Check to 100, 150 or 200 dpi |
|
|
- guides should be in the foreground by default Done - scaling for superscript and subscript shouldn't be 100 % by deafult Now 66%, as Scribus raises/lowers script by 33% - gap between columns shouldn't be 0 by default - have the bleed settings "chained" by default - Set lowest allowed resolution for images in the Preflight Check to 100, 150 or 200 dpi Now 144 dpi |
|
|
bleed settings now chained by default |
|
|
Default values for images in the Preflight checker is still 10 dpi, minimum and maximum. |
|
|
Correction: the settings mentioned above are provided for "Postscript", but not for "PostScript" (!), and for PDF 1.3. For other PDF versions, they're correct. |
|
|
In the PDF export dialog, please don't activate "Convert Spot Colours to Process colours" by default. |
|
|
Guides are still in the background by default. Gap between columns in "Tools" is still 0. Also, please set the default font size from 9 pt to 12 or 11 and for palettes from 9 to 11 or 10. |
|
|
Another sane default value would be the basepoint of objects for rotation as centred, not upper left. |
|
|
Disagree.. typically someone will draw from a corner. |
|
|
I agree with the upper left corner left as the default value as this is the most common expected behavior for all apps I know. - Hyphenation settings with a smallest word of 3 chars seems a bit tight to me. I suggest to put 5 at least there. - Might be questionable but what about putting 9 points or 5 mm as bleed default values instead of zero? Explanation: Could even be simpler for the user to have a bleed default value and to have an extra check box in "New Document" where you could simply tell Scribus that your document has bleed or not right from the start. After all, you must know that before you start your layout and if you don't it's about time for you to make a decision. The bleed settings are applied only if you check the box and they are at the industry's standard right from the start. This in my view would be a better implementation than what's done in ID or QXP. All too complicated in my view, for no good reason. Oh, and the default could be that the document has no bleed. I have no issue with this. Both choice would be sane to me! |
|
|
Gey guys a really nice default that I always end up doing is moving the location of the "tools" toolbar to sit vertically on the left hand side. This is then consistent with inkscape and makes for subtle but great usability between the two apps |
|
|
In the PDF export dialog > Colour > Printer > "Use Custom Rendering Settings", the default values should be: Frequency: 100, Spot Function: Ellipse. |
|
|
100lpi is quite low, most common values in offset printing now are between 133 and 170lpi |
|
|
The default directory for Scripts should be the installation directory ~/share/scribus/samples. |
|
|
I've thought it through and decided to leave bleed at zero. Anyone needing it will know what size they need. |
|
|
I have disabled custom rendering settings in prefs as the colour stuff doesnt work. Resolving this now. |
|
|
Frequency is still 70 lpi. |
|
|
Tested, fixed. Thanks. |
