<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Yes,<br><br>The arrange page is a solution but not optimal. I still have to rearrange when in a odd/even logic. If the number of pages to add is even, it is ok but if it is odd (say 3 pages), then troubles are the same.<br><br>So I think that for the 1.5.x it would be nice to add an option "keep relative logic" which would follow the already existing layout. <br>I propose those steps :<br><br><br>1) create your document.<br>2) create your master pages. <br>There should have a keyword like "mymaster_O" and "mymaster_E" that will give the engine a hint on what the artist want to do. <br>The interesting part is "_O" and "_E" for odd and even. <br>Only one template can be named with "_O" and one with "_E" since they express the whole document logic.<br>When the engine sees those suffixes, it knows that it is the underlying of the doc. <br>When you add a page, you don't see the "_E" or "_O" anymore, just the common prefix "mymaster" not to confuse user in the page options. By the way, that option is preselected instead of the "normal" layout". <br>The pages are automatically adjusted and the following one will follow EXCEPT if they are of a different master name. In which case, they remain untouched.<br>3) Be happy.<br><br>If the document doesn't have those "_E" or "_O", then the current logic is applied. Everyone is satisfied.<br><br>It can be a HUGE productivity gain on large document and can tract more users to use Scribus.<br><br>Your opinion ?<br><br>Thanks<br><br><div>> Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2014 07:12:27 +0200<br>> From: peter@nermander.se<br>> To: scribus@lists.scribus.net<br>> Subject: Re: [scribus] Keep master page logic when modifying page order<br>> <br>> > There should be a way to "lock" a master page to a page, no matter what<br>> > happens.
