Wrapping Text Around an Image

I have been using Scribus for many years, but in this new version, 1.7.3, I cannot understand the new user interface for wrapping text around an image. Is there any documentation to explain this user interface palette?

    hi zerubbabel

    i don't know if there is a full documentation of the palettes of the development version. (i never searched for it...) but wrapping text around images works in the same way as in older versions.
    if it's just a rectangular image:
    • select it and go to ,properties' → ,shape'.
    • select the fourth text flow icon (the tooltip says: ,text flow around contour line').
    • click on ,edit'
    • at the bottom of the appearing ,nodes' palette click on the second icon (the tooltip says: ,activate contour line editing mode'. afaik this is the only difference to the previous versions where there was a checkbox for this...
    • here you can increase or decrease the contour line by fixed values or change it manually as in older versions.
