Summary0011441: text validator
Description- action on selected frame seems not to work (other options do)

- no undo is possible after text validator action

- (according to me) "Remove line-breaks" should be OFF by default

- the "remove emtpy line" action is allways activated, even when option is OFF

- when quitting is asked, scribus crashes sig 11 if text validator has been applied once while opened.

TagsNo tags attached.

One more issue : the "Remove char" option does not record the input when "remove" char is a space.

If there is a good reason why it should be so, it should not accept the "space" input (rather than silently discard it) or output an error message on 'OK' request.

But i dont see why 'space' should not be allowed there. According to me 'space' should be allowed there.

I could not get the "remove char" "after" "before" option to work at all, with whatever configuration.

"replace strings" option is not recorded in config pane (and so it cannot work neither since it is not recorded)

"space" is somewhat not precise enough for such automatic text adjusting functionnalities !
One wants to deal with "thin space", "non breaking space", "thin non breaking space" and maybe other special spaces...

With new version, several issues are solved, but not all.

To sum it up :

Solved :
- action on selected frame is now ok
- the "remove emtpy line" action is ok (OFF when OFF)

Unsolved :
- "remove char" "after" and "before" options dont work at all, with whatever configuration - or i could not get them to work -.
- "Remove char" option does not record the config when "remove" char is a space.
- when leaving Scribus Crash due to Signal 0000011 segmentation fault (core dumped). This crash is silent (no popup message box) but message can be read on the terminal.

New issue detected :
- reset does nothing apart from displaying a comment : "system wide configuration reloaded" but the options keep unchanged and are not reset. The comment text can probably be improved too. "Initial" configuration would be more correct than "system wide" because ALL configs are system wide amof but 'reset' reloads (should) the only one 'initial' config.

Wished improvements :
- undo
- management of special spaces

I have a couple more improvement suggestions :

- display the preference dialog each time "text validator" is activated so as to enable checking and maybe changing the choices before launching (since many options are powerfull and probably need being checked).

- add a "regexp" checkbox to each of the "replace text" options so as to be able to state regexp patterns to replace.
