Let's say we have a "root directory", a folder in which we store all documents images and text files that will become part of a final magazine.
This root folder contains also a subdir called "layout" in which I put my ".sla" file to work on with Scribus.
In my "workflow" I have many root dirs, one for each issue of the magazine, for example:
2022-february
2021-november
2021-august
and so on...
I use to maintain also a symbolic link to the current issue I'm working to, called "current-issue".
When a issue is complete and released for printing, I create a new directory for the next one, named let's say 2022-may, and edit its symbolic link:
current-issue -> 2022-february/
mkdir 2022-may
rm current-issue
ln -s 2022-may current-issue
current-issue -> 2022-may/
What's happen to my .sla file in the old root?
Seems links to images contained doesn't point to the right files. For instance If I open:
2022-february/layout/2022-february.sla
Images frames are empty and report an error like "image.jpg not found".
If I remove the new link current-issues and re-create it pointed to the old 2022-february, images re-appear again.
May be Scribus file contains info about images with their absolute path?
