Friksel Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I am working with quartets of master-pages belonging to each other (single page, start-page, middle-page and end-page), so I often have to duplicate masterpages to go to the end of the list to start a new quartet. But that seems to be impossible in Publisher now. 1) When selecting and duplicating a master-page it always gets inserted directly after the original masterpage. I would expect the duplicate to go to the end of the list though. That makes more sense to me and works like that in all other software I used before AFAIK. 2) AFAIK there's no way to order the master-pages list on alfabetical order, so renaming the master-pages doesn't influence the order, so there's no workaround in that to re-arrange 3) AFAIK there's currently no way to re-order the master-pages (drag'n'drop, like for example in the layers list, isn't working here to manually re-arrange the list) 4) It's currently not possible to duplicate three pages at the time This feels pretty primitive and inflexible for a list. Which is understandable for the first version of the product. But, especially when using a lot of masterpages in one file (like some overrides and different types of letter- or book-layouts), we really need to be able to arrange our masterpages to keep things organized, easy to find and/or group masterpages together by at least their names. Now, once added a master-page, it always remains on the same position and we cannot change it later. How it is now: I want to be able to duplicate the three different masterpages (one by one) in order to sweak it for a different set of layouts. Currently that's impossible because the duplicate is not pasted at the end, but inserted in between: duplicate-always-after-original.mp4 What I would like to see: * When duplicating a masterpage I would always (per default) like the copy to be placed at the end of the list * Being able to drag'n'drop a page to a different location to manually order the list * Being able to sort the list on alfabetical order would also be a very welcome addition, but first two wishes are highest in my personal priority * Being able to do a multiple-selection and multiple duplicate would be nice too Transglobalist, Patrick Connor and Wosven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Disagree on the first. Very strongly agree on the second. (I assume we are talking about Master Pages) Disagree on the third. Utterly neutral on the fourth. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Why would you not want to reorder Master pages? Ugh. sorry misread Old Bruce's response - am tired. I concur that reordering Master Pages is necessary! elmonopascual 1 Quote Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper Star Media Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 +1 for the ability to rearrange master pages. We can do it with regular pages. Why not be able to do it with master pages? elmonopascual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
