Hi Everyone First of all a great thank you for such a super program as scribus. I am writing from the tip of Africa (Cape Town) where we use it as much as we can.
With my last publication I was under considerable time preasure and realized that one point always held me up. perhaps it would not have shown up otherwise. But I found it very confusing that the different DTP related programs call and place the butons differetly. In one case I almost lost my work. Well this trigered my little usability study. Others are probably much more clued up, but perhaps my lines strike a cord and it doesw good to all of us. I did a comparison and found that when you close a document that is not save each program in Linux asks you in a different way. I noted with Scribus that the oder of Butons changes when it asks you about overwriting an existing document. Attached find my findings in a table as an OO.org document. Would it be possible between the DTP related programs to unify this a bit more. I could imagine it woold help the end users. Well this is only my view and perhaps there are things I overlook. I know this should also be discussed with The Gimp, Sodipodi, Inkscape etc people. But I thought here at Scribus must of us use all of them. So let the discussion begin.
