| Summary | 0001790: No autoflow of text to new frames/pages | ||||
| Description | There doesn't seem to be any counterpart in Scribus to the "autoflow" option in programs like Adobe PageMaker; you turn it on and place a text object, and if the object is too big for the page/column you placed it in, it automatically flows into new pages/columns, creating new text frames (and new pages) as required until all the text is placed. This would be a much faster way of placing a long text document in Scribus--currently the only way seems to be to insert all the pages by hand, insert text frames on each page by hand, get the text in the first frame, then link each text frame by hand. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Create new document, add text frame, place text in it that's too long for it; the rest of the text is hidden unless another text frame is linked to the first one. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Probably the category of this issue should be Story Editor/Text Frames instead of General. |
|
|
If you enable automatic text frames when you create a document, you get autoflow to new frames. The pages must still be created by hand. There are some major cleanups taking place in 1.3 that might make it possible to implement this (and hopefully without having to enable it on a new doc like is currently the case). |
