hi,<br>
<br>
yesterday, franz has done a change to the preview mode that, in my
eyes, should first be discussed by the scribus users.<br>

<br>
on the one side it is certainly useful to have a way to test the pdf
forms in scribus, but -- on the other side -- i'm not sure that
disabling the editing in preview mode is a change that will please
everybody.<br>
<br>
<br>
some issues i'm aware of:<br>
<br>
- switching the preview mode on and off can be very slow (so people
may want to stay in preview mode while doing visual tweaks).<br>
<br>
- the canvas can be very cluttered, and one may want to switch to
the preview mode to do further changes without being disturbed by
guides, invisible frame borders & co.<br>
<br>
- we already have other links that work in the edit mode (footnotes)
and will have more of them in the future (TOC, references, ...):
shouldn't pdf links work just like the other references?<br>
<br>
<br>
i would be interested in hearing what the scribus users think: do
you need the editing capabilities while being in preview mode?<br>
