does it still work with the original template? If so then the issue is in the new template. Might be useful to post links toboth templates in the forum. we might be able to see what is going wrong.

PDF Generation / PDF Generation is not stable w...
Last post by obergeau - November 30, 2023, 12:26:51 AM
I like scribus it has served us well generating a series of PDFs from a csv file ver 1.5.8 windows 10 platform

in the past it worked well generating 365 pdf files for our daily outputs for 1 year.

Now when we revised the template ~ 5M of data per PDF occationally it runs well and makes all 365 files takes about 15 minutes but when we wanted to start genreating these files on a yearly basis the program crashes at about 13 or 14 files for all of our sla files which used to run ok in an early mode.

tried a lot of amateur fixes nothing has fixed the problem so far so I have to come to the gurus.

HELP!!

I'm happy to review all of these changes, potentially all for 1.7.0 codebase, and some, maybe all for 1.6.1. We're waiting on one last thing to release 1.6.0 which is the French UI translation. Once that's done by Jean, we'll release it. After that, we can look at all of this stuff. Thank you for reviewing those scripter functions.

MrB

You are right. I will format special chars to HTML tags: < > &

Thanks for pointing out.

I find there are other 'strings', namely:

PAPER_<paper_type>
UNIT_<type>
FILL_<type>
CAP_<type>
JOIN_<type>
LINE_<style>
<selection>
0 <= state <= 3
<i></i>

Note that only <style> causes trouble.

I will leave point 11. as it is.

But, what about the other points on this forum thread?

Regards

As Ale points out, this is a problem with the website conversion code, should should set to &lt; or &gt;, not Scribus code.

Can we continue as I have prepared Scribus fork:

concerning the < style > ... i guess that i will have to tweak my script to convert it to &lt; style &gt; .

theoretically, < and > can be the start and html tags and should be escaped... but since they mostly work i normally don't do it.

fixing the docstrings is for sure a good thing. but i find it hard to follow the all the changes you're suggesting.

since you're already using gitlab, would you mind creating a new branch with the changes, create a merge request and adding the link in here?

then we can start a review on gitlab with inline comments attached to the specific lines of code.

sadly it's not (yet) possible to accept merge requests, but if you're as lazy as i am, you can add a .diff to the url and create a diff that you can download and use for uploading to the scribus bug tracker : - )
