<p class="MsoPlainText">Currently, one needs to right-click on the empty page and then choose
<i>Page Properties...</i> then the tab <i>Item Properties</i> on the right panel activate with the all the parameters needed. Like you Richard, I'll be looking at first in the
<i>Layout tab</i> as, to me, the page itself is more linked to the layout than to a specific item. Hovewer, if there is a good reason to not put it in the
<i>Layout tab</i>, either a new exclusive <i>Page tab</i> could be added or an item named
<i>Page</i> could be permanently placed in the <i>Items list</i>.<o:p></o:p></p>

Objet : [QGIS-Developer] FeatureRequest: make Page properties (portrait/landscape) easy(ier) accessible</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi Devs,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I'm not so much of a report/layout maker, so last week I had to create a simple (map only) pdf, but really could not find how to change my page from Landscape to Portrait...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Today somebody contacted me with exact the same question: "I used it earlier, and now I cannot find 'the button' anymore"...<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">What would be the intuitive place to access the page props (most notably off course orientation/size)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The *Layout* properties-tab/menu (to me most intuitive) is probably not showing it because you can have several pages to one layout and they can have different page properties (I found out).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">So some (theoretical) options:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- does a 'page' have 'Item Properties'? Because that one is empty now? Would it be easy to add it there?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- would it be possible to add it to the 'Guides' tab? Because that one already has a 'Page' dropdown, so.. maybe add Page properties there?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- maybe add another tab (like Guides) named 'Pages', and a page dropdown there and then the props per page?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Ah wait... if you have a layout with several (different oriented) pages, and you select the context menu 'Page properties', the Page properties ARE SHOWN in the 'Item Properties'???<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Does the (empty) layout page has some signal when you click on it? So a click on the empty sheet would reveal the same 'Item Properties' as the 'Page Properties'-context menu shows?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Or is there some (technical) reason this is not possible?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">If not possible, anybody has a (easy implementable) for this? As my gutfeeling is there are more people searching for this :-)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
