| Summary | 0009588: Missing error message when pasting on locked background shape | ||||
| Description | see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.scribus/36828 "I have sometimes a problem that I don't understand: when cut a photo from one document with Ctrl-X, I often cannot paste it on a page in the other document; either the Paste function doesn't appear when I do a right-click on the page, or the Edit->Paste or Ctrl-V doesn't seem to work, and the photo doesn't appear anywhere. I doesn't happen everytime, but often enough to be quite annoying. I think I have the answer: I was trying to paste the photo on the background layer, where there was already a locked background shape that covered the whole page. I have no problem when I'm on the right layer, where I'm supposed to put the photos." --> Scribus would help people to help themselves if it could provide some warning message : "Sorry, you cannot paste on this locked layer ! Unlock it or change layer..." | ||||

Personally, I don't wish that Scribus starts shouting at me with alerts the whole time... But i agree that in this case, Scribus could give a better feedback than just disabling the functiontality. One way to do it, would be to use (maybe in a even better way) the notification area in the status bar. Personally, I can even think that Scribus may also have a notification palette on top of it... where you could see some of the past notifications and -- maybe -- even more detailed information. |

There is simple way of warning without loading screen - cursor shapes. But Scribus has poor handling for stacked frames even with one layer. |
