Hello all,
I am new to Scribus, just moved from adobe to full open source workflow. I am wondering if there is a way to create text and paragraph styles from the styling of a selected text? Sometimes you need to experiment a certain time with the text before to find the styling you like, and then you want to create a style out of it. A solution is to reproduce manually the settings into a style, but a quicker way to include your styling in a new style would be super handy.
Thank you for your attention :D
hi can0ra
there is an old feature request (https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=579) which never made it to be implemented.
as often there are many questions about
'the right behavior':
- should the function just create an independent style or should scribus track your changes and create a child style based on the style you started with?
- if the devs would replace the internal character settings of the paragraph style by a mandatory 'based on', should a single click create both sorts of styles? (as independent styles? as child styles? or user defined?)
personally i would like to define child styles. but i see that this is a bigger task than to create independent styles.
it might be worth to update the feature request with your ideas and see if it will come to a new life...
