Digital Workshop

1) i'd like an easy way to adjust leading, kerning... for paragraph (like the + and - for actual font size)

2) i'd like an easy way to activate/desactivate the show/hide for object in the organizer tree (like radio button for each object) .
Idem for lock/unlock

3) i'd like an easy way to make text animation like swish

that's all.... for the moment....

When pasting text into Opus that ALL formatting of every kind be stripped out.

This is an excellent suggestion that I fully support!

Why do you want formatting to be stripped out? If anything I'd have thought you'd want formatting to be left in.

Why? When copying and pasting from a source external to the project the formatting is most likely to be completely different to that being used within the project. I second/third/whatever this request, but with the addition that it be made an option - for those who may wish to retain the formatting!

Hi benoit,

You can add Show/Conceal and Outline toolbar icons to your favourite toolbar. Works very well, and is much faster than the Pop-up sub-menu!

hi Steve,

ok for show/conceal using the toolbar icons, but radio button seems more visual for me... (perhaps because i am accustomed to this function with my other software)
What i don't like with lock/unlock is that when you use alt/drag to select object in page, the locked object are select too, and you have to deselect it before you can move the other object.

This has always been clunky - I posted on the Illuminatus Forum a couple of years back about the inability to easily isolate objects you are no longer working on.

Opus 4 is a vast improvement, but items that are locked should be exactly that - visible, but unaffected by any activity (including selection) until unlocked.

It's very annoying trying to group items to move them around as a collective, when you keep inadvertently selecting something that you don't want moved - so drawing a marquee around everything (the simplest method) is virtually impossible.

Other programmes have catered for this successfully (Flash, Illustrator, etc., etc..)

A little tidying up, please - soon?
