NigelH Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi, Using Beta 1.7.0.227 I tried to switch on 'Show Bleed' from the View menu. This is the menu before... and this after just selecting 'Show Bleed'... It seems that selecting almost any single option auto selects several others. This means all unwanted items then have to be individually deselected. I'm assuming this isn't intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickRose Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 That's strange. I don't see that. Maybe reinstall or do a Ctrl run & resetting data. Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelH Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi Mick, Just tried a Ctrl run and chose all the options to clear, but with exactly the same results as before. With further investigation I discovered that if I manually deselect all options, I can then select single ones without a problem. But if I deselect them by choosing Preview Mode, selecting any one of them re-selects all that were previously selected before using Preview Mode. So it looks a little like an intended feature. It is confusing to have them all selected if you're only clicking one. Wouldn't a better way of achieving this be to only have the item selected re-select but, to achieve the previous state, simply deselect Preview Mode. That seems to make more logical sense to me.

NigelH Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Just noticed that deselecting Preview Mode actually does this already, so you could simply drop the selecting all when selecting one view item feature and remove the confusion.

MickRose Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 It seems that Preview Mode remembers the settings for the 7 view options and toggles between the remembered views state and all views off. That seems sensible to me. Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelH Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi Mick, I agree with you when deselecting preview mode, but if you are just selecting a single item then Publisher is simply not doing what you've actually asked it to do. It's not a biggie once you understand what it's doing, but it's not obvious and seems like poor UI design to me. Clicking to show bleed (or whatever) is in fact not showing bleed, but toggling off preview mode. The menu items are all displayed as individual toggles, but don't act like it.

MickRose Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi Nigel - sorry, I don't agree with you. I think the idea is you select whatever views you want to in your normal working pattern and then toggle the preview for a clearer viewpoint. That seems sensible. I understand what you say about bleed toggling the preview mode but generally I'd have thought you'd have some of the View options ticked and after a quick preview you'd want to go back to where you were. What might be useful is a quick way to deselect all the views. Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
