Suggestion: (copy) on masterpage duplicate


Recommended Posts

Hi,

even so I made several books, I still being sometimes confused by following:

If you duplicate a masterpage, both pages do have the same name (title), and one of them the title is highlighted blue. I would expect this is the new page, but it isn't. Its the original page (where e.g. pages are already assigned to it).
I would suggest to put an suffix like (copy) to the end of the title on the duplicate, which makes it more easy to see in one view, which is the original page, which the copied page. Being practical, you would rename the duplicate anyhow in most of the cases afterwards.

Thanks

If you don't name the master pages and just keep the default Master A, Master B, Master C naming convention, APub increments the letters automatically.

If you name your master page anything else, e.g., Test or even Test A, it will not increment the letters.

Hi MikeTO,

I know, but it isn't very practical if you make a book which needs many different masterpages (see pic). MASTER A, B, C ... you would need extra lists to determine e.g. which MASTER is for which chapter.

I completely agree, I give my master pages meaningful names, too. I was just pointing out that the developers of APub may have intended to have automatic duplicate name incrementing but forgot to extend that capability when they built the feature to rename master pages.
