Improvements for the Pages lists in Anchors, Hyperlinks, Cross-References, and Place panels


Recommended Posts

Several panels, including Anchors, Hyperlinks, Cross-References, and Place, have a control that lists all pages or spreads in the document or in the document you're about to place. It would be nice if the word Page/Pages was removed from all of the list items and instead the control had Pages: as its label. This would enable us to type 602 to jump to page 602. And for all of them except Place, it would be nice if there was a "Current Page" option.

Today I wanted to find an anchor on the current page and didn't remember its name. There were a bunch of index marks mixed in with the anchor before the heading and the anchor panel doesn't jump to the anchor that the cursor is next to so cursoring around wouldn't help. I realized I could narrow the scope of the panel to the current page with the list of spreads but there were a lot of spreads and I had to scroll to find it. It works, but adding "Current Page" would make it better.

I also wanted to place page 602 from a 700-page PDF. It presented an identical list and there is no scrollbar for these lists on macOS, even with scrollbars set to always be visible, so I either have to scroll and scroll and scroll or quickly type "Pages 602" to jump to that page. Removing "Pages" from each list item would make it easier to jump to pages by typing their number.

 

Thank you
