| Summary | 0017233: easy access to common feature, popup menu, and style editor | ||||
| Description | FIND AND REPLACE is common feature, unfortunately we can only use this feature in STORY EDITOR which mean we need to edit a text frame one by one, let say that I have hundreds of pages with uncountable TEXT FRAMEs, should I use this FIND AND RAPLACE feature one at a time?. rumor say there is a script to do this, but for a beginner like me to use script just to do a common task is nonsense. VERTICAL ALIGNMENT is common feature, if you are a new user you will need it, intuitively a new user will find it in the TOOL BAR visible by default, or maybe you can find it on the POPUP MENU by using RIGHT CLICK on the related TEXT FRAME. this feature should be included in the PARAGRAPH STYLE. I can't imagine what happen if I have to change TEXT FRAMES in 1000 pages without VERTICAL ALIGNMENT in PARAGRAPH STYLE?, should I change it one by one?. it is scary. OBJECT STYLE, we need it, again it is bothersome to change thousands of object one by one. OBJECT TRANSPARENCY, let say I want to create a Glass Like Text Frame, as a glass it should be transparent but the texts containing within this frame should be 100% visible, with visible Frame Lines. if we can choose which part of the frame to be made transparent for example SHADE ONLY, LINE ONLY, CONTENT ONLY, ALL, or maybe we can choose individually then the effect will be astonishing. INTUITIVE POPUP MENU, a new user will intuitively use RIGH CLICK on the ARANGE PAGES ->DOCUMENT PAGES to see if there is a POPUP MENU related to the pages, for example INSERT A NEW PAGE, DUPLICATE PAGE, MOVE PAGE, PAGE NUMBERING, etc but unfortunately SCRIBUS don't have it. INSERT - CHARACTER - CURRENT FILE NAME, it common for professional and we need it, let say I have files with similar contents having thousands pages in one file, for example 100 serial number in 1 page and 1000 page in a file. I will use this file often, SAVE AS it to another file name for different project as the content of the project mostly similar, I need to print it out for production, some days later some one tell me that some of the printed pages are flawed then ask me for replacement. without foot note about FILE NAME and PAGE NUMBER i will be in trouble. yes we can type the FILE NAME manually in to the foot note but it's prone to human error, what will happen if I forget to change the FOOT NOTE?. | ||||
