Hi all, today I read an article on Adobe's CS2. Two features seemed extremely interesting to me: anchoring of objects and the opportunity to export objects as XML "snippets" to Bridge.
Anchoring of objects is already available for some time in many word processors. ID CS2 offers a DTP specific solution: Any object (image or text frame) can be anchored to text, and the object need not even be placed in the text frame. That way, marginal notes or images will move with the text. From the article, it seemed that saving XML snippets only works with Bridge. If scribus is to provide a similar feature, it should be more flexible. For instance, it might be a good idea to save frames as scribus objects that contain all important informations (styles, properties). Moreover, it might be useful to have the ability to export a whole library for reuse in other projects. Both features will become important at the time more collaboration features will be implemented. Thoughts? Christoph
