[scribus] Request for a feature - 'window memory'

[ZASKE Martin]

Very interesting sharing.


Maybe we should all share our preferred way of working, so that the
developers will know - or so that they can teach us how to do it
"better". Or to become more Scribuonic.

I always try to have two physical monitors sideways next to each other.
I have the main Scribus window on my main monitor. And all the extra
bits to the left on the other monitor, for example the properties and
text-properties and layers windows always open, and more windows like
document-structure (the name is somewhat different) as I need them.

I know from another space-needing-tool where I use two monitors, that it
would be a real pain to try pulling the main Scribus window to cover
both monitors. So nothing gets docked in Scribus, I love the fact that
the extra little windows can be pulled outside the main window.

For my other tool, I had help and managed to create an AutoIT script to
pull the tool over both physical monitors. Maybe I should try that with
Scribus and then use docking for the helper-windows and see whether that
gets nicer results. Just when traveling I do not always have the second
monitor and some tools respond funny when their context changes while
they are not running.

(All my above details are about windows 10, although we also run some
Scribus on OpenSuse Leap in the office, some with two monitors also.
Linux seems to be good about keeping work-space layout.)

I would love to hear more from other regular users.
