hi<br>
<br>
We tend to work with some mindset of what we are working with, but in<br>

complex situations like DTP layout this mindset can only have so much<br>
detail, so when we need to refresh detail it is good to have a single<br>
window/dialog to refer to, even if it's just informational.<br>
<br>
Perhaps when a frame is selected, there can be a strip under the toolbar<br>
as<br>
a sort of "dashboard" (not really so fond of this term) of its<br>
settings/content. Obviously for a text frame, one set of information is<br>
there, for image frames, another. This might lead to a redesign or even<br>
abandonment of the PP as we now know it, having what currently is our PP<br>
become more of a dynamic structure, and frame- or object-oriented.<br>
<br>
I like this idea. It’s not that far from the actual PP but it would<br>

personally, i'd prefer to have an information palette (instead of a<br>
toolbar), which you could easily place, hide, show...<br>
<br>

... and edit ?<br>

no, just an information palette... a mix of the the status bars in inkscape and scribus. but as a palette, not as a toolbar.<br></blockquote><div><br>oh... ok. Not sure that I see the exact use of this. If the settings are there to see, why not be able to edit them right there?<br>
