<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hello,<br><br>While using Scribus with a large number of elements, I kept having an issue :<br><br>Let's put reproducible context:<br><br>1) Say you have a document of 70 pages.<br>2) You have 5 different master pages.<br>3) Set the two first master pages up with an even/odd logic. Your whole doc is now one master1/master2/master1 ...<br>4) You think you are finished with the doc but at the very last moment, a colleague of yours comes with eight pages to add at position 14,15,24,26,14,37,41,58,.<br>5) But pages 32,33 has master page "master3", pages 20,23,34,38,45,47 "master4" and pages 7,9,14,15,51 "master5".<br>6) Everything is messed up. If you keep the "exotic" logic, then you will have to set up manually the odd/even pattern (boring). If you decide to go the autobahn way, you have to recreate the "exotic" logic.<br><br>There should be a way to "lock" a master page to a page, no matter what happens. That way, we could recreate the whole document just by resetting the odd/even pattern. Everything would be nice.<br><br>Since we are there, how to manage a document with a pattern like "master1,master2,master3,master1,master2,master3..." in case of a mistake with content adding ?<br><br>Lot of questions but Scribus is very nice<br><br>Thanks<br> </div></body>
