General Discussion / Re: [TOC] get an attribute dir...
Last post by a.l.e - March 25, 2024, 09:00:42 PM
hey!

it starts to work correctly!

i had to recreate my test file (somehow the old one did not work anymore... but it has been edited with multiple intermediate steps of the TOC... so it was somehow expected to happen).

the order of the titles is now what i would expect, but the one that is on the second page (which is in a chain starting on a first page) is showing up twice.

concerning the UI:

- i would move the options that are specific to the attributes in the lower half of the dialog and show one of both panes, depending on the selection.
  that is, if after having implemented all this, you still think that it's useful to keep around the attributes based TOC...

- when no style is selected in the list on the left, the properties on the right should be disabled.

- since now the order of the style is not relevant anymore, it might be not be strictly necessary to move them up and down.
  but i guess that most people will want to see them in a specific order, so it might be good to keep the feature.

finally, the last issue still open concerns the way to pick the target frame:

- on the one side, the user will not now the name and will have to close and open the dialog again to find it out.

- on the other side, a real document might have dozens of text frames and the user will have to scroll though a big list of items...

... i guess that the simple solution is to add a button "select current frame" next to the list of frames, and make it active if a frame is currently selected.

thanks for the fixes!

it is a font issue, look for a better designed font.

dunno, I thought the accents were part of the character in the font set?

Hi,

i have tried the following Arabic text in Scribus, most of the characters coming correctly but some characters accents are not positioned properly


قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ ٱللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَآ أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَآئِدَةًۭ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدًۭا
لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَءَاخِرِنَا وَءَايَةًۭ مِّنكَ ۖ وَٱرْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ١١٤
قَالَ ٱللَّهُ إِنِّى مُنَزِّلُهَا عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بَعْدُ مِنكُمْ فَإِنِّى ٓ أُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابًۭا لَّا ٓ أُعَذِّبُهُۥٓ أَحَدًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ١١٥


is there any possibility to fix this?

regards,

i'm not sure. i downloaded your file and could reproduce the issue. if i type fast (after placing an image), it displays the last words with a visible lag.
it is not only your file. i just did a test with scribus 1.7.0.svn on mac os (32 MB of ram) and it shows the same lag after inserting an image.
as i usually don't type in scribus (except for some corrections), i never noticed the lag before. but it's there.

it might be worth to file a bug report.

Ok a new version is now in SVN.
Reorganised the UI for main TOC
Created settings per style header, removed extra style list. Added single style list selector, and individual settings for remove line breaks, page numbering location
Removed the line break removal from the main TOC
COL/FRAMEBREAKs always removed, line breaks per settings (currently defaulted to off)
There's probably a few UI tweaks still to do.

Ok, thank you for looking into it.
It must be non Scribus related and I will troubleshoot other possibilities.

Windows / Re: Scribus can't find my netw...
Last post by mgamble - March 24, 2024, 08:15:56 PM
Thanks for responding so quickly.

Actually, I think I just needed to restart scribus after mounting the wsl through the network drive. I wrote that post before trying to restart, my apologies for that. It works now (as you can see in the screengrab). However, that dropdown box that currently is showing "My Computer" can not be typed in. In many other programs a path to a folder can just be pasted in there to go to that folder. However, that doesn't seem to work here. That would really help when there are deeply nested folders and navigating to the right place is arduous. That and/or having the picker open in the folder of the scribus file as a head start to getting to the right place, would be a real help.

Thanks so much for all that you do in Scribus. I'm exploring moving out of inDesign and I'm really enjoying so far. I especially like that I can modify the .sla directly (or through a script).

Best,
Matt

not having an issue with typing speed.  Could it be the font you are using? Try another font to test and see if it make a difference.
