Hello, developers.
I am a new Scribus user. I started Scribus +/- 5 years ago. At 2015, I started it again. Many things I accept as difficulties in Scribus, compared to GIMP and Inkscape, at the user interface. It is not a big problem after all. But I have pain in my hand by just designing brochures in Scribus but no pain in Inkscape. It is probably funny but it is true. The main difficulty for me is too many clicks needed to interact with text frame. I will explain it.
Where Is The Problem- Properties Pallete (F2)
- Text Frame
My Workflowfor int i=0; i<=many; i++
1) Place a text frame
2) F2
3) Click on Text Tab
4) Click on Font Selector
5) Click many times on Font Size
6) Click certain button to give text space
7) Click align
8) Go back into text frame, edit
9) If the text settings get errors, fix it by 1 - 7
Main ProblemThe most heavy thing I feel on my Scribus workflow, is, I should open and open again
Text Tab. Too many times for me so I get pain in my hand. Actually it is worthy for me to get pain for great layout artwork, but I want to get a clear workflow from you here.
What I WantI want Scribus to
remember my latest tab choice. In this case, Text Tab. And further I want
1) Properties pallete always viewed, no closing, no Esc = Close
2) Text Tab on properties pallete can be locked so it is always viewed, no clicking again
My Question1) Is it true that I can not lock so the Text Tab is always showed?
2) How to make Properties pallete always viewed, and lock the Text Tab so it will always viewed first?
3) Is there any way to detach tabs in Properties Pallete into single small windows? If there is, I will detach Text Tab first.
4) Is my workflow above wrong? If wrong, I ask for your workflow. I am sorry, but please tell me your workflow. Thank you.
5) If it is true we can not detach tab and lock tab, how to make a feature request? Is it enough with this forum thread?
Thank you so much. It is my first post. I am sorry for my English. CMIIW.
