Indeed I am a newbie
- It's Right Click / APPEND Text..., not Import Text
There's a real usability bug here too (I think)
Append Text is clearly a pretty important function, but "Append" is not in the menus at all.
Why on earth does Import .TXT work and Import of Other formats fail???
My past experience has been that the menus are comprehensive, and mousing is just another method of doing things
Surely there should be an Append MENU entry too? The two verbs, Import and Append, can have very close meanings in English
But this much used and important Scribus Append function seems to be ONLY available by mousing methods.
The Help system has out of date screen shots which mention both import and append, but do not define either (Section Importing - there isn't a Section for Appending)
My text frame was empty, so Import = Append in this not very special case
Import as I did it just should not bomb out with no explanation
End of rant.
I really do have respect for the developers and the team, and thank them for their time and their skills
I'm just furious with myself at getting fixated on the wrong keyword
- and also that I had not come across any warnings about the gotcha I fell into
