[scribus-dev] What to do?

[a.l.e]

hi

my point of view...

1.4.1 + 1.5

1.4.1 + 1.5

> * [Preflight Verifier] progress bar indication during checking

1.5

> * [Preflight Verifier] placing text cursor at CPos related to selected error

1.4.1 + 1.5

> * [ODT import] feature for omit whole paragraphs style information (any new

> character formatting

1.4.1 + 1.5


> * [Status Bar] add information about selected item - kind of item,frame name,
> filename for image frames, dimensions

we should have a good solution for showing information and avoid 
cluttering the status bar... imo...

> * [Search/Replace] search and replace in whole document

1.4 / 1.4.1 + 1.5 (depending on how invasive it is)


> * [Style Manager] set default style for replacing during deleting styles to
> "Deafult Paragraph Style" instead No Style

1.4

> * [Properties Palette] tabs switching automaticaly related to selected item

1.4.1? (will not be needed anymore in 1.5, since there won't probably be 
tabs anymore)

> * [Properties Palette] applying Paragraph Style dont clear local character
> formatting (need some fix for proper behaviour while opening old SLA files)


1.4.1, if it's possible to make it work with old SLAs


    *
*     *

but all depends on how long 1.4 will be around...

if we don't want any new feature in 1.4.x and 1.6 is planned for some 
time next year (i hope it's planned for next year!) all the changes 
marked as 1.4.1 can be directly applied to 1.5 only.


... just my 2mio francs...
