Last post by Nermander - November 30, 2024, 10:11:56 AMIt may be because so many people were just writing a # and expecting it to become the page number?

Last post by zenny - November 30, 2024, 09:26:27 AM@utnik Thanks for the prompt reply.
I got a notion from your reply that it would be easier to create a new document from scratch than relying on the one imported from PDF.
Anyway, I appreciate if you have any idea to trace just the layouts from the imported vector image in Scribus, similar to `Trace Bitmap`in Inkscape? Just curious and have a nice day.

you may take the imported document as a 'reference layer'. but i think you have to rebuild the layout on top of it (and delete the 'reference layer' or at least uncheck visibility and printing...)
'page' → 'snap to items' may help a little bit.
i don't know a faster way – sorry!

Layout Issues / Maintaining layout only (not c...
Last post by zenny - November 30, 2024, 07:15:11 AMHi,
I just imported a PDF from my old designs (the original were lost) as vector image, but could not figure out to maintain the old page layout only, but not contents. Is there a way to do so?
I tried grouping the layout, but the sections that contains texts also get grouped together. I want to fill-in new contents by using the layout as a placeholder.
Thanks and Cheers,
/zenny

Last post by utnik - November 29, 2024, 04:59:27 PMthis '#' symbol in the scribus help might be outdated. in recent versions i see a real number in the masterpage. (but the way to insert page numbers didn't change...)

Beginner Talk / Preserving italics from EPUB t...
Last post by Gy1l0om - November 29, 2024, 02:38:07 PMHello there !
I'm re-editing texts I have in EPUB format. I believe Scribus cannot import EPUB texts directly (is that correct?), so I thought of converting them to TXT files first. Which works decently well with a few tweaks. One problem I still have is the loss of all formatted text, mainly italics.
What would be the easiest way to keep italicized text from an EPUB file ? Can I use simple HTML tags such as <i></i> in my TXT file ? I would then search and replace whatever way the EPUB files use for indicating italic style and replace it by a simple <i> tag ?
Thanks a lot for your guidance !

Beginner Talk / # symbol not appearing on mast...
Last post by Stranger - November 29, 2024, 01:55:11 PMHello,
I can insert numbers on the Master page (and the numbering is visible on the normal pages).
However the # symbol is not visible on the Master page text box where I inserted the number.
I can edit the number, using the edit text box, but nothing appears on the Master page itself (the changes are correctly appearing on normal pages, with the edits).
It's not a big problem, but I'm wondering what's happening ?

you should drag the 'scribus.app' to the applications folder!
...but it's strange anyway. scribus runs from everywhere. i can even start it from the .dmg. (just tested under mac os 15.1.1 – should work as well with sonoma...)
there are applications that won't run from other places than the applications folder (i.e. rawtherapee). but scribus is not one of them.

Last post by hellolu - November 29, 2024, 02:00:06 AMI've downloaded Scribus into my app folder but it won't install when I double click or right click. It just tells me to drag the dmg into the apps folder, but it's already there. Tried redownloading to desktop and dragging to apps folder, but no luck. Have googled for a solution and see that other people have had similar issues with different apps, and were advised to contact the developer. So here I am, hoping for a solution.
