Last post by dtribby - January 12, 2025, 07:39:33 AMDid the new function to delete a paragraph style make it into Scribus version 1.6.3? I don't see it in the "For Developers/Scripter API/Creating & Manipulating Styles" section of Scribus Help for 1.6.3.
In the script, I tried
deleteParagraphStyle(style)
but got the "name ... is not defined" error.

Languages, Translation and Localisation / Re: String Freeze Announcement...
Last post by MrB - January 11, 2025, 02:56:41 PMI just checked my dmg file for Mac OS for 1.6.3 and it has a working Dutch translation. I think what you're seeing is that transifex exported ts files are not perfect and need some transformation before use. This is what I do.
Code Select
sed -i~ $'s:<?xml version="1.0" ?><!DOCTYPE TS><TS language="\(.*\)" version="2.1">:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\\\n<!DOCTYPE TS>\\\n<TS version="2.1" language="\\1">:' $TS_DIR/*.ts
sed -i~ $'s:<?xml version="1.0" ?><!DOCTYPE TS><TS version="2.1" language="\(.*\)">:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\\\n<!DOCTYPE TS>\\\n<TS version="2.1" language="\\1">:' $TS_DIR/*.ts
sed -i~ 's:<translation type="unfinished"/>:<translation type="unfinished"></translation>:' $TS_DIR/*.ts

Hi Craig,
Could it be that something has gone wrong with incorporating the updated languages into 1.6.3?
Even after manually importing a brand new scribus.nl.qm file that I mannually built from the ts file I downloaded from transifex I get a New Document dialog full of English language.

Showcase / November - My first book.
Last post by Irishlostboy - January 11, 2025, 07:35:47 AMHi all. I just want to post here to say thank you to the guys who made Scribus. I used it to layout my first book, a collection of 30 short stories, one for each day of November. The printer had zero difficulties in taking the PDF and printing it. I printed 80 copies mostly for my friends and the artists who I hired to illustrate the stories. There will be a few copies showing up in bookshops in Berlin, Frankfurt, and Galway in the near future, but that is about as far as my reach extends.

User Interface / Re: Indigo UI: Outline Palette
Last post by a.l.e - January 10, 2025, 07:35:37 PMPersonally, I feel that with that many icons on the right side. the list gets busy and there is a risk to reduce its usefulness.
If only the items that do not print or are locked are marked as such, then they would stick out.
On the other side, it's also true that with your proposal, it would be easier to switch the state of multiple items that are listed close to each other.
I wonder a bit what would be most appreciated by the users.
A topic that I think has been discussed in the past, is a button to switch between a page and a document view.
Also, something I stumbled upon, while looking for something completely different:
https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=13781
After several years, I'm still convinced that deselecting the current item should not make the view in the outline jump around...
But I understand that it's not trivial to make the behavior obvious in every use case.
I think that it would be useful to create a new ticket and link it to the numerous ones that already exist to have an overview of all the wishes that have already been expressed....

User Interface / Re: Indigo UI: Outline Palette
Last post by bubu - January 09, 2025, 11:48:46 PMNitramr, this is exactly the kind of development Scribus needs. Thank you for keeping it going.
1) The insertion of a "master pages" and "document pages" header is useful for beginners. I remember when I first saw this panel, it was not trivial. OK.
- Just make the children indent smaller so the panel doesn't grow to the right, because there's less space there now.
- Let them have a different icon!
2) Layer color, locking status and visibility: Color: I like that it's so narrow! The print icon is very wide. Both icons should be as narrow as possible.
3) Edit names, toggle visibility and locking status: I like it!
4) Filter settings: Yes, it is useful.
5) I like that the unnecessary "Item" caption in the header has been removed. It was completely unnecessary. Thanks.
I suggest:
- 3 icon buttons (ala Inkscape) to the top (to the right top corner): delete selected items, move selected item up, move selected items down. Its difficult to select items, than right click and select up, and again right click and up, and again...

Last post by a.l.e - January 09, 2025, 10:07:54 AMin the bug tracker, martin mentioned his plans to create a customizable toolbar.
i've shortly summarized it in this new ticket:
https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=17366
i think that it's the simplest way to solve your issue.
if your company has (c++) developer resources to spend on this, you might want to get involved in the discussion and see how the new toolbar can be developed so that it you get to use it as soon as needed in your setup.
