i'm not upset at all!

if you think that graphic designers doing layout need this
feature, please go ahead!

you now know what the reasons are for not having it in, but if you have
good arguments and good hints on how this could go work well in scribus,
i'm sure that somebody at some point will work on it!

personally, i'm not really convinced that this is a feature that a DTP
application needs as badly as a vector drawing software like
inkscape.... and since it brings some concerns on the way it should
behave to be predictable in every case, i'm comfortable with the
conservative attitude expressed by jean.

but there has been lot features that nobody thought could be really
useful in scribus (and were to hard to implement to really care of) and
now that they're in, they become important features (like the fact
that one can select items through layers, which has been implemented
very recently by franz!).

so, if you have the time to work on this and care enough about scribus,
help us to find a solution for grouping items through layers!

have a nice day
