Im fairly new to Scribus and my question might be based on that fact...
When I import a vector graphic it seems that Scribus cuts off a couple of millimeters at the right and at the top of the inserted image. Is there a reason for that and how do i avoid it. Its kind of a dealbreaker.

Features / Make gradients easier to manip...
Last post by sunmarsh - April 17, 2024, 05:17:55 AM
In Scribus 1.6.1 you must be very exact when using the gradient slider to select the small triangle and then to move it. If you accidentally slide your mouse off the arrow the gradient node will be deleted. This is very frustrating, and incredibly common as it is very difficult to move a mouse in a very straight line. I would suggest doing two things:

1) Adding a thin vertical line above the triangle that can also be "grabbed". Grabbing this line would not allow you to remove the gradient node. Only grabbing the node and pulling it up or down would allow it to be removed.

2) Increasing the "clickable area" of the node (and line from suggestion 1) so that it is not so tied to the actual (tiny) size of the node. This makes it a lot easier to select the node/makes it more accessible to those who have difficulty clicking on very small areas.

"Gradient.JPG" shows the current setup.
"Gradient+.JPG" shows the addition of the line, and the highlighted area shows the increased size of the "clickable area" (which would not actually be visible, it's just highlighted in the image).

I only use that website you mention for scripting scribus.

Im using 1.6.1 and I get the below error when I try to set scribus.setPageHeight(objheight)


AttributeError: module 'Scribus' has no attribute 'setPageHeight'.


It makes me believe that it does not exist in 1.6.1?

it's in https://impagina.org/scribus-scripter-api/page/ so it should also be in 1.6.0 ...

have you tested it?

Hi A.l.E,


Just curious if this ever made it into a release?

Really looking forward to modifying the page width and height via. scripts.

hi ramiro,

i guess that we need more details here...

what do you mean by "the files in scribus ... disappeared":

  • are the images in the document that disappeared?
  • or you don't find your scribus documents anymore?

Hi everybody,

The files in scribus suddenly disappeared overnight, is anyone in the same situation as me?
