Summary | 0002430: Move items to an appropriate menu | ||||
Description | With scribus 1.3.1 some menu items have moved, and others have been introduced. Notwithstanding heavy changes "under the hood", I'd like to point at some serious usability issues, some of which are already present in the 1.2.x series. - "Action history" seems to be a candidate for the "Edit" menu - "Distribute and Align" should be properly placed in the "Object" menu - "View" - "Snap to Grid" and "Snap to Guide" belongs in the page menu Moreover, it seems to me, that hyphenation should be placed in the "paragraph styles". | ||||

I'm not sure I agree re action history, but I definitely agree re snap settings and dist/align. Anyone else have a viewpoint on this? |
|
Disagree. The dialogs that are started from menus are moving to the Windows menu soon. I agree re the snap menu items tho. Will do this stuff soon. |
|
As it seems, moving "Action history" to the "Edit" menu isn't really popular among the folks doing the real work. It appears, however, to be quite logical to me. "Undo" is where every user does expect it: in "Edit". "Action history" is an extremely conventient extension to "Undo/Redo". So why not place it right under the "Undo" item in the "Edit" menu? Seems quite logical to me. |
|
Snap is moved to page, palettes are on the windows menu (at least for now)... |
|
Works fine and I like the change, but now cascade and tile are greyed all the time. Found this on IRC with ExScite. |
|
Tile, Cascade now fixed. |
