GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 708410
Make the title editor more solid, nicer to use, better integrated with direct manipulation on the viewer
Last modified: 2015-10-20 13:02:42 UTC
The current implementation of the title editor feels a bit flaky, especially the part where it allows you switch back and forth between the "source code" view of pango and the WYSIWYG mode. I'm not too much of a fan of revealing markup codes to the user, personally... Either we should only have a WYSIWYG view, or we should only have a "codes" view and leave the preview part to the viewer, not the title editor widget itself... Ideally we want everything to look nice and be reliable and direct-manipulation on the viewer. This is not gonna improve without somebody hacking on this feature, so we really need help (and input) for this to happen, patches are incredibly welcome.
All in all, I think the sanest (and coolest) way to do this would be to not have a separate tab for the title editor; do all the title editing/manipulation directly onto the viewer widget instead, which would avoid issues like bug #726473 (text sizes being absolute instead of being "proportional to the image").
