Stupid question... What/who is Avery ? :) > Here are the screenshots for 4 labels: > http://www.geocities.com/newyen/index.html Looks good ! What's the goal ? Is it to print labels with the same thing in each of them ? (In that case the "Copy" behaviour could be useful. We just miss a way to set it from the user interface - we only have "Create a Copy on next page", no "make this frame a copy of this other existing frame", although the code supports that). Obviously if the contents of each label is different then this doesn't help. > While I was working under KWord trying to create my label I've experienced > several things that can be improved: > > 1) I was not able to delete a frame using the "Delete" key. > 2) I was not able to copy and paste frame. wishlist items on bugs.kde.org please, I can't remember all that's missing, nor implement it all at once. > 3) When I right click to delete a frame, a dialog pops up asking me if I > wanted to delete it.

IIRC this dialog only pops up if you delete a non-empty last frame of a frameset, i.e. one that has some text in it, that you won't be able to see anymore. Hmm, right, we have (working!) undo/redo.... I'm ok for removing that dialog then. Or should it have a "don't show me again" checkbox ? > 4) There's no DCOP for KWord. Thanks to Werner there is now (with access to all the actions and all the Qt objects you should be able to do things - but probably not enter text).

Werner, what about using KIO::NetAccess ? No that we need network transparency, but we need to avoid using a shell and cp, I think ;-) (Why isn't there a system call for copying a file on the local filesystem ?) -- David FAURE, david@mandrakesoft.com, faure@kde.org http://perso.mandrakesoft.com/~david/, http://www.konqueror.org/ KDE, Making The Future of Computing Available Today _______________________________________________ Koffice-devel mailing list Koffice-devel@master.kde.org http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
