| Summary | 0006274: Another means to keep external resources (images, etc.) and SLA file together. | ||||
| Description | Following is another possible way to resolve the issue discussed in the thread "Congratulations and initial comments.." on the Scribus users' list - specifically to keep the images & SLA files together in one place: Introduce the following features: * In addition to the existing feature of creating a Scribus file, introduce yet another option - "Create Project..." - that will make Scribus create a directory (instead of a single SLA file), bearing the Project-Name or Scribus file-name, and place all SLA files related to the project in the project directory. * Make additional changes so that, when any of the image-inserting operations is selected, Scribus provides an option (should be the default) to the user to copy the image (that the user wants to insert into the SLA) into the current project's directory. It should be a _default_ *option* - that is, the user should be able to choose not to copy the images to the project directory. * Additionally, there could be a hierarchical explorer displaying the correct hierarchy of all the Scribus files in the project along with the external resources included in the project at the correct points. The explorer could have the ability to carry out file operations with necessary adjustments to the project so that the project's *files* integrity is maintained - that is, all files remain in a single *project* directory. The project directory could be a local directory or one created in a remote server or whatever. Actually, this is just like the web application management feature present in Macromedia DreamWeaver (now owned by Adobe). | ||||
