If I'm reading this feature right, I have to agree and add my support to its implementation - I was about to report it myself. Using templates in this way is probably their major strength, since you can create a layout that is adhered to by the whole document, but with different content in every instance. This can be critical for books and newspapers and such where you want to use the template as you'd use a style - create a template, apply it to a whole bunch of new pages, fill the pages with different content, then change the template to affect layout changes to all the inheriting pages. I'm sure this change will make Scribus more useful to users with complex documents. |

I suppose this comes pretty close to this feature. It would be also nice if "Text flows around Box" set for an object in template would affect a text frame in the actual page. |

moved to 1.3+ |

Is it possible to raise the priority of this request? The reason is that it's one of the most asked-for features in German forums. |

Planned in Roadmap Extras http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/1.3.x_Roadmap_Extras with no ETA Changing the status to acknowledged |

Just a suggestion: Some objects on a masterpage should not be editable on regular pages (textframe of the pagenumber, some images and so on). So it should be possible to define somewhere which objects can be edited on a regular page and which not. Possible approach would be an additional boolean option in the layersdialog when editing a masterpage "is editable template layer" |
|
|
Keep Scribus as simple as possible. I suggest to use lock status: if frame/object is locked while in master page mode it can't be edited in regular mode, if not then one can modify object as if it was created in regular mode. May be lock indicator (I believe there will be one somewhen) should have different colors for objects locked in different modes. Rather simple. |
