"allow horizontal" - do you mean we have vertical flatplans already?

Sounds like a feature request to get in the way of fixes. Bottom of the pile IMO

well, we have vertical flatplans... as you can zoom out and see the pages in a vertical flow...

@cbradney: this is a common way of working for really many people in DTP...
i don't need it myself, but the wish has been expressed in an OIF-workshop in africa... it seems to be useful for them.

if it's not too much work to, i'd suggest to implement it...

I believe it would be a lot of work to do on the canvas at least, given the history of working vertically, plus all the layout assumptions based on the 4 page placement types.

so, let's do it only for the page management dialog...

... and maybe add a page preview in there...

would that be easier?

and add a page preview to the page management?

if we want previews, should we do it with multithreading?

ale: I am voting for multithreading in Scribus by both hands and both legs (4 votes!), not only in this case!
But I don’t have right to vote, I am afraid.
