PDF Generation / [SOLVED] Just upgraded from 1....
Last post by ZeeGee - October 22, 2024, 12:09:18 AMHiya, I've been using Scribus for 3 years for quite simple packaging designing.
The old (1.5.6) version didn't load in today, so I decided to re-install/upgrade it. I updated the Ghostscript as well.
When I start generating PDF pages, it takes "forever" - 30-50sec for 3-8 pages comparing to what it used to be yesterday - 1-2sec - with the old version. If I click on the screen during the writing process, the "not responding" text comes up, but after waiting a while it finishes and Acrobat opens with the pdf files. So it always made the PDFs I wanted, but it obviously "struggles" and makes my work a lot slower.
I could go back to 1.5.6, it worked for me totally fine, until now, but if you have any idea how I can fix this, I'd appreciate it so much!
Thanks,ZG

General Discussion / Re: Plus Minus on Numpad Not W...
Last post by Nermander - October 19, 2024, 05:44:34 PMA lot of people today do not learn about different shortcuts because most programs do not encourage their use. Instead programs are design so you should "see" how it works without having to learn.
We use MS Office at work and I have always been very good at Word shortcuts and tricks, but have struggled with Excel (because we did not use it as much and I thought I knew how to use it...).
But then I sat down and tried to make a list of useful keyboard shortcuts in Excel (and I also learned how to define tables) and now I probably work twice as fast in Excel. For example I was always so frustrated I had to double click cells to edit them, because then I had to move my hand from the keyboard to the mouse. So learning F2 really improved my speed!

Last post by SirMix - October 19, 2024, 10:35:31 AMSomehow that information was never told me. 
I was happy enough to just use the plus/minus on numpad with my thumb.

Beginner Talk / Re: I Cannot Turn Off Snapping
Last post by BN_Dev - October 18, 2024, 08:22:25 PMGo to View -> Grids & Guides -> * and then them both on. Then go to View -> Text Frames -> Show Baseline Grid and turn that on. See if your snapping matches any of those things.
Check you have definitely disabled everything in Page -> Snap to *
Is your snapping occurring in a particular document? Does it happen in an entirely new document?

Last post by Joop - October 18, 2024, 07:42:12 PMI don't know if it is a big table, which is not wise. Big tables are always difficult to read for your "customers". I had a table in LibreOffice Calc, it was 5x5 and I made a 5x5 table in Scribus and copied the cells one by one to Scribus. Doing it in one time is not understood by Scribus, after all its only a make-up program. If you copy cell by cell you have also the advantage that you can do everything with that cell, even things which are not possible in Calc (or Excel for that matter). So, if you want to publish a table say 30x20, forget it, unless you have to publish for science or so, those readers are used to that kind of formats, but if you have seen science publications, its not that fancy make-up and widely spaced lines of text.

Beginner Talk / I Cannot Turn Off Snapping
Last post by Rick444 - October 18, 2024, 05:37:26 PMI do not have any snapping enable but items are still snapping to what I think is the grid. Am I missing something in the setting that needs to be disabled?
