Candidate criteria
As for LibreOffice, Hard hacks should meet the below requirements :
- Be relatively annoying for a significant amount of people
- Be relatively difficult to solve and/or track down
- Crashes/data loss are good candidates but not necessary
- Backtraces should be done on proposed hard hacks before they become accepted hard hacks
- Enhancement requests should NOT be on the list
The Dirty Dozen
Candidates
Brainstorming & Nominations
Note: Please label bugs using the bug template: {{b|#####}} where # siginifies bug number on the Mantis Bugtracker
Remove the "missing ghostscript" warning on startup and replace it with a warning shown when ghostscript is indeed needed → 11428(nominated by a.l.e)<
- This bug was destroyed by cbradney in r19179. This bug did not even graduate to The Dirty Dozen
- The Properties window sometimes stops being updated when switching to a different object → 10182 (nominated by Ulrich Klauer)
- commentary by nominator
- This bug opens up the use for Scribus for a multitude of people around the world.
- When no end of paragraph is part of the selected and copied text, pasting should not paste the paragraph style of the selection (it should only paste the character styles) → 11574 (nominated by JLuc)
- First demonstrated in 1968 at the Xerox PARC, Cut (or Copy) and Paste feature is one of the most common operation of computer use. Scribus should manage it perfectly.
- Search doesn't center on result → 11369 (nominated by JLuc)
- Search only searches current frame → (could not find the bug #)
- Search and replace text is one of the most common operation anybody has to perform when working on documents.
- Impossible selection across multiple linked frames → 6241 (nominated by JLuc)
- Selection is one of the most basic features of text editing. All commonly used software that manage multiple pages can select text across pages, whether DTP or text editors. Not meeting this user's habit and expectation is a deterrent to the use of scribus.
- Copy'n'Pasting text from another document → 11814 should not overwrite the current styles (same when importing a page from another document 11420)(nominated by Jluc)
- Styles are at the core of layout. Defining and using styles is one of the most important guidelines for users wanting to learn DTP. Managing styles should be done without any flaw. Conflicts should be well managed, with user's guidances when required.
- Getting cezary's TOC code into the trunk. (nominated by Ale)
Background
- Thread on the ML started by JLuc on May 2014.
- Heavily inspired by the LibreOffice model:
