master w. picture frames –> replace existing & migrate
I notice a few odd issues when applying Master B with replacing Master A but migrating its content. Both masters are independent.
1 of 2 picture frames appears visually as expected. Its frame has same size and position on both masters.
The picture frame of the new master at this position isn't transferred (~ replacing the former) but replaced with the existing of master A.
The other picture frame becomes
– set to invisible,
– scaled in width,
– its image gets horizontally moved
Wow! In Beta 651 it works like a charm and even auto-migrates accordingly to layout variants between two masters.
I am really impressed, it appears close to "Smart Master Pages" without their need of manually named layers and resources!
