Right, this also what I read in the specs. But I see no screen addressing
this issue. Maybe caty can tell us more about that?
IMO when we want to export one page (most of the time) user should not see
all those options. There should be 3 levels :
- "Export as PDF" button that exports the page as usual (with toc and
cover)
- "PDF export options" that allows to select Cover, Toc, etc.
- and a link to "Multipage Export" feature.
Or maybe we will have one "Export" link from pages that bring to multipage
export ?
From what I see Multipage export already plans to
have those export
options,
right. But my development is about exporting as
PDF when you are on the
actual page, not in multipage export feature.
* Export
** Export as PDF
*** PDF Export Options
** Export as RTF
** Export as HTML
** Export as XAR
It is complementary.
I think the idea is to have a single view to perform both single export and
multiple exports, possibly with a simplified UI when exporting a single page
(ie no need to choose the list of items to export or maybe keep it but have
the current page preselected).
Thanks
