https://app.transifex.com/scribus/scribusstable is the link on Transifex for the 1.5.x codebase, which will become 1.6.0. You can use the direct web interface to complete translations. I will download them from Transifex into our code repository.

Installation and Setup / Re: Toolbar icons still tiny (...
Last post by a.l.e - September 22, 2023, 10:19:35 AM
please try with 1.5.x

1.4.x has not changed (much) since 2012, so it's not really a surprise that its shortcomings have not changed either.

in 1.5.x (soon to be 1.6), you cannot change the size of the icons either, but the size might be saner (it should support high resolution monitors).

hi admfubar

Quote from: AdmFubar on September 21, 2023, 06:46:05 PMThe option is already available in scribus. It is in the content properties window. Select a text box on a page, in the Text Properties (content properties)  there is a entry that allows setting the smallest word, consecutive hyphenations, and the hyphenation character.
you're right – thanks!
unfortunately only the field for 'consecutive hyphenations' made it to the 'style manager', which is where i would like to set those values...

Windows / Re: Toolbar icon size
Last post by AdmFubar - September 21, 2023, 08:28:51 PM
This is a feature that is coming, the developers are waiting for an update to qt before implementing it. Dug around in the scribus install directory and there are other size icon directories there but they are not populated completely, and there seems to be no way at this point to have scribus use them. perhaps when 1.6 is released this will be ready, dont hold your breath on this...

Windows / Re: Toolbar icon size

Allegedly you can right click them and select them to be a different size, according to the dev who closed all the bug reports about it. Except you can't! lolz. not on windows 10.

I found an old post on this with people asking for updates, but none were given. A series of bug reports were made around 2016 and the response from a developer (Kunda?) was regarding right clicking the icons, and it giving options to change icon size. It was suggested (in error) that this bug was fixed. It was not.

The gif used to demonstrate this was from another app (gimp?) and it is ***********NOT************* possible to change the size of the icons in Scribus on Windows 10 by right clicking them. If I do this, it gives me an option to show or hide sections of icons (File, Edit, Tools, PDF Tools).

There seems to be no point in filing a bug report, as lots have before and they are all closed in error.

This makes Scribus unusable. This is excellent news for commercial DTP editors, as there seems to be absolutely no free alternative.

The other option is to allow Windows 10 to scale the program automatically - this makes ***all*** text blurry, absolutely not the vibe for DTP, also unusable.

I enclose pictures of Scribus's unusable teeny tiny icons.

This website itself I am currently viewing with 133% zoom, because the text is teeny tiny. Is Scribus aiming to cause eyesight loss from squinting?

i know this from libreOffice. but i don't think scribus offers those settings so far.
you could file it as a 'feature request' here.

Text and Typography / hyphenation limit 5 letters
Last post by minyves - September 21, 2023, 05:09:33 PM
I'm looking for a setting I think I had already used:

Where do you set the length of the shortest word that may be hyphenated by the Hyphenator?

For my taste too many words get hyphenated.
Under Document Setup or Preferences under "Hyphenator" I can only tick two boxes.

Thanks!
