| Summary | 0003275: Preview mode | ||||
| Description | Hi, we really need a preview mode! Right now the only semi-functional way of doing this is by doing a Print Preview. This method is just totally useless and unflexible. First, there's no color correction on this window and second, you can't move anything around! Basically all it does is hide everything outside the page. See attached file for example. | ||||

Have you tried turning off all page marks (F11), have you tried hiding the rulers? (No, hiding the menus is not yet done) |
|
|
This hasn't to do with hiding the menus or the page marks, this is about hiding the stuff outside the page. Maybe add a "Hide Content Outside Page" in the view? That would do the same thing. What I need is the parts of images/text that are outside the page area to be hidden and still editable. |
|
|
Reminder sent to: this looks like one of the things you've mentioned |
|
|
I think this makes sense. The canvas provides an accurate rendering with colour management, so all that'd really be required is a mode that turned off all rulers, frame borders, etc and clipped content outside the page / margins. The clipping might not need much more than a drawing mask to be set. The behaviour I think I'd expect would be: (a) preview mode turns off all rulers, grid, frame outlines, grab points, etc BUT remembers what the user's settings were (b) If the user tries to re-activate any of those, preview mode is turned off and their previous settings get restored. This should help avoid the "what the hell just happened? what key did I press? ARGH!" issue one runs into in apps like MS Word, where all the things the user is used to using to change something just don't work because of some overriding mode / setting. (c) Deactivating preview mode manually also restores all display settings It might also be interesting to one day be able to preview individual plates on the native canvas. |
|
|
Have found a way to display only the contents of the pages, not the objects on the canvas outside the pages (objects are clipped to the page borders). Drawback is that this code relies on the cairo lib, libart isn't able to provide the needed functionality. Another way would be to use the ScribusView::PageToPixmap code for doing this. |
|
|
libart doesn't have some kind of masking/clipping? |
|
|
Have made a first experimental implementation now. |
|
|
Is there a way to currently test it? |
|
|
Yes, in current CVS there is a small button at the lower right edge of the window, (the Button with the "Eye"). Just toggle this button to switch preview mode on or off. |
|
|
i keep getting sig11 crashes after clicking on this "eye". this is with 1.3.4cvs |
|
|
Same here (SuSE 9.3) |
|
|
It does nothing here, not even crash, although I'm currently on a Cairo build. I suggest it's moved in the View menu as a Show option too. |

This works fine here with --enable-cairo run at configure time, however, clicking on the eye with libart build triggers a consistent crash in current cvs. rogram received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Fixed the crash now, but i'm getting now lots of funny effects. It seems that the ScPainters in ScribusView::PageToPixmap and ScribusView::drawContents are affecting each other. |
|
|
I just did a build today, this is excellent! I am very happy. :) I'm gonna say again at the risk of sounding like an ass, but this option in View would kick-ass (while retaining guides and all) too. I would see it as F11 toggle instead of a feature in itself, but it's just me, say what you think. |
|
|
Yes, the option should go into the view menue, but its still experimental because there are some bad effects with it when Scribus isn't build with cairo support. |
