[Suggestion] "Split Pages" — templates and quick cleanup
Lately, I often use the page-slicing function. I really miss the quick removal of all separators (using the button or the context menu in the list of separators) and the saved custom separator settings. For example, my most common use is 50 percent vertical, 33.33 percent vertical, and 25 percent vertical. It would be much more convenient to save each of these settings once, and then just select one of them in the corresponding drop-down list.

Hello, Jensen Head
Sorry, you mention that you miss this function, but I do not believe that we have ever offered such. In V9 we do not offer a "split every..." function, which would allow you to split every specified percentage across your pages fairly quickly and easily Beyond that, your mention of wanting "profiles" for this function is an excellent suggestion, I think we may already have a ticket for it, so I will take a look around, but if not I'll forward this to the dev team shortly.
[UPDATE: it seems there was not a ticket for this yet, so I have created one for you - RT#5841: Add settings profiles to "split pages" dialog ]
Kind regards,

Excuse me, could you rephrase what you wrote? My english is pretty poor. In the context of the dialogue, it was not I who did not understand the meaning of what I quoted. Or, you did not fully understand what I wrote in the first message.TrackerSupp-Daniel wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 4:25 pmSorry, you mention that you miss this function, but I do not believe that we have ever offered such.

In here you mention "missing" a function, one which after looking back through multiple previous installations of our software, I could not find. Was this a feature in another software that you use previously, or am I missing an obvious option when I look through our old builds?Jensen Head wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 1:10 pm I really miss the quick removal of all separators (using the button or the context menu in the list of separators) and the saved custom separator settings.

I chose the wrong word.

I meant that this feature is not in the current version, it was not in previous versions, but I hope that it will appear sometime. Pressing Ctrl + A and Delete (or even just, for example, Alt + Delete) on the keyboard to delete all set separators would be faster than the way it is implemented in the current version. This is irrelevant when you do it several times a month, but becomes important when you have to do it hundreds of times a day.

Hello, Jensen Head
Ah, I see, thank you for clarifying. I will pass this along to the Dev team for consideration. In the meantime, though not an entirely "keyboard focused" solution, you can click+drag within the split list panel, and quickly select all splits, then press the delete button on your keyboard (or click delete above) to remove the all at once.
Kind regards,

Re: [Suggestion] "Split Pages" — templates and quick cleanup
I propose to consider checkboxes in the list of separators as an addition or replacement for profiles. Probably, it will be even faster - using the keyboard arrows and the space bar, mark only the separators you need at the moment, deselecting the others that are not needed at the moment. In the case of selected multiple separators, pressing the asterisk on the keyboard inverts their selection. The shortcuts Shift + Home, Shift + End, Shift + Arrow Up / Down must be supported. If more than one separator is selected, pressing the spacebar alternately sets them the selected / unselected state.

Hello, Jensen Head
That sounds like an excellent feature, if a bit overly complex. I cannot promise it will be implemented at this time, but I have made a formal feature request for you on the topic:
RT#5872: FR: toggle split dividers

Re: [Suggestion] "Split Pages" — templates and quick cleanup
I agree with the general thrust of JensenHead's suggestions concerning Split Pages plus a few more thoughts below.
The split-line, or "separator", does not show up well on my monitor. Any chance it could be "beefed up" a bit? Also, it would be nice if there were a little window on the pop-up panel that provided a digital reading of where on the document the split-line is.
It would be nice to have a "Show Rulers" option for the display window in Split Pages so that you have a more precise appreciation of where you are on the document.
It would be nice to have the option of not carrying over separator selections from use to use. If one is using different splits from use to use, you have to remove the previous separators for each new use. Boring.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration of these suggestions.

Re: [Suggestion] "Split Pages" — templates and quick cleanup
Thanks, Stefan.
While you are at it, could you add one more thing to the ticket? If you have selected multiple splits, horizontal and/or vertical, but want to remove them all, you have to select them all before either one at a time or by highlighting them. A "Remove All" button would be a small time saver.
