| Summary | 0003937: Changing number of columns of a text frame | ||||
| Description | We need a much better way to set the number of columns of text frame, current solution is counterintuitive. Quoting Avox's reply to the mailing list: "Well, if, you are not the only one. Honestly, who found that setting the first time without asking? (not counting MrB, Franz, Tsoots or whoever implemented it) This must be one of the top 10 most frequently asked questions, and most people *had a look* at Palette->Shape and still missed it. Looks we found a stealth technique which could make USAF envious... :-)" http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2006-April/016871.html | ||||
| Additional Information | I've just learned on pl.comp.dtp http://tinyurl.com/jzgaz that some guys don't even suspect the existence of this setting and other cannot find where it is, although they knew it once. I consider it a serious usability issue. | ||||

The location in 135svn is the text tab, and I have just renamed the header for the related sub area Columns and Text Distance |
