| Summary | 0011853: Inconsistency between handling of XTG and IDMS files | ||||
| Description | IDMS files can be opened and inserted as items, but it's impossible to load them into a text frame. On the other hand, XTG files can only be imported into text frames (however badly at the moment). This makes no sense, as both contain about the same information. Hence, it should be possible to import IDMS into text frames and to open/insert XTG files. | ||||

|
Clarification: Scribus shouldn't be able to *open* IDMS or XTG files at all -- these are text frames with formatted content. Instead, XTG and IDMS should be supported by 1) Text frames (like ODT etc.) 2) Right-click -> Paste File 3) Insert -> Frame |
|
|
Also, IMDS shouldn't be listed in the file selector of File > Import > Get Vector File. |
|

IDMS and XTG files are different. IDMS can contain more than Text, in fact they contain anything, Text, Images and other Vector Objects. So the "Open" or "Get Vector File" for IDMS is completly ok for me. I've attached a sample IDMS file with only vectors inside. |

Verdict? |
|
|
IDMS should also be available via Get Text. |
