but detaching elements from the master page is imo not the right way to go. pain!)Īs already written: i'm 100% for improving how scribus handles such cases. and forget that it was detached on 3 pages of 200. (or you delete a frame from the master page. but what happens when you resize the frame in the master page and now the text does not fit anymore in 3 pages of 200? will you notice it? who knows.) (you know: frames could only half separated from the master page: the size and position could be kept, maybe also the border and the background. While agree that liberating a text frame from a master page looks like a tempting feature, it's also a source errors and i don't think that most people will understand what really happens when they start typing in a frame You can also create a text frame on multiple pages at once and have the automatically linked (see insert > frames what is missing there is a way to use the current frame as a reference) but it would be probably trivial to make them editable (i've filled a feature request. Having a set of well placed guides will also help you achieve a correct layout.Įntries in the scrapbook are not editable, yet. Right click on the scrapbook element and choose "place on page": it will place it at the original place. If you want custom entries on some pages, use scrapbook. Having them InDesign-way (Ctrl+click) means breaking every link with master page and/or style applied, and we'd end up with custom entries on some pages which simply doesn't make much sense. Having dynamic/editable elements on master pages will probably lead to unnecessary complications and create additional problems. The problem with this is that you cannot change the text frame layout when switching between master pages. To compensate for this, Scribus allows you to specify "automatic" text frames on every page in document set up. This should include the ability to specify the areas of the layout to be used for copy. The whole point of master pages is to simplify, unify and standardize page layout. If fixed it could save designers a lot of page set up. It is a serious design flaw that you cannot add empty text frames to the master page and edit the contents of those frames on the pages to which you apply that master page.
