- a composer option: you make the choice when you export to svg, in this
case you don't see the result until you open the svg
Thanks for addressing this issue!
For me, the most obvious place to put this option would be in the print
composer. Maybe close to the "print as raster" option?
I'm not a huge fan of this option, given that I'd like to keep the composer
window as clear of clutter as possible. I think output format specific
options like these (and saving svg to layers) should be put into a separate
dialog which appears after the save file dialog. Much like how
gimp/Photoshop/illustrator etc show a jpg quality dialog after choosing to
save a file as jpg. The settings could either be remembered globally or per
output filename.
-1 for another dialog window. It makes the user have to set another step to
export before having a result. If you want to export the same composition work
multiple times with different file names you would have to set this every time.
If you want QGIS to remember the settings, the user should have set it
somewhere specifically. UX simplification is good, magic things happening behind
the scene are not.
Generally im am more in favor of a "configure first, then execute" way of
working than the opposite.
An intermediate solution could be to have an extended "save as" dialog box,
with some options on the side.
+1 for having a cleaner UI.
I think it does make sense to separate specific settings in specific
dialogs. And, QGIS can remember the settings from one time to another
(or am I missing something here?), no need to add a definition somewhere.
Then, I don't mind to have either a specific dialog for SVG export or
the dialog to be shown after save as.
I think people are used to configuration dialogs being shown after
choosing a format.
My ultimate goal (I was going to run this by the ux list) is to move
infrequently used settings like resolution, page size/orientation, print as
raster, etc and the atlas settings to their own "composition properties"
dialog and then remove the need for the composition and atlas panels. Any
thoughts on this?
Same, more dialog boxes is a -1 for me, panels are quick and convenient, and
give a fast overview of things.
An option to hide or reduce them on the side would be preferable imho.
Again, I would also vote in favor of a specific dialog.
It's the same on the mainwindow, we don't have a single dock with all
the settings at once.
I think it's more confusing (and finally less efficient) to have all the
settings mixed on the composer dock.
Cheers,
Denis
Only my personal opinion for what it's worth.
