Yes my .sla file is on the same external ssd.  Images and all files are on the same main folder of that project on the ssd.  As a test I opened my .sla file on an other computer and had the exact same problem with all the files copied on the hard drive

I mainly use my ssd to edit pictures for this projet and others.

sounds like your .sla file has picked up some errors. I this document you are working on stored on the external ssd? The images too? How often do you write to that drive?

that's aggravating
maybe just export the odt to a straight text doc and then sort through that to format it the way you want?

I am writing a book with multiple images.  After 100 pages of work it suddendty became impossible to import an image previewed in the importing window.  I see it in the preview but it does not show on the page. The information window tell me that the image is missing.  I am 100% sure it's right there. Not only that, many of the images in the same folder are no longer shows preview and acts as missing image when I tried to import those.  Some images from other sources can be imported but not the previous ones used in the book.

If I create a new document I can import all the images.

Can someone help me out with this? I am at lost.

User Interface / Style Editor issues - 1.5.5. a...
Last post by dellwinn - March 26, 2023, 06:57:31 PM
This post should be in bugs report but it is offline. Here goes:

Scribus Version 1.5.5
Build ID: C--T-*-C1.16.0-Windows-64bit
Using Ghostscript version 9.27

(also 1.5.8)

After importing text, and deciding to 'undo' this, the undo button is greyed out.

When importing text and ticking the 'prefix styles with item name' selection box, it does not work: the document name is not appended to the styles already present in the imported document, meaning there is some guesswork in removing styles at a later stage.

The Style Editor, F4.
The grey outline of the style editor matches the grey off page area of the background, so there is no contrast between the two, making the style editor difficult to select and drag. (I think this can be resolved via 'preference' settings though).

When deleting styles, they need to be deleted one by one.
Even if the styles grouping arrow indicates to the right hand side - ie. the styles have been 'concertina-ed' upwards,  only one style will be deleted at a time. Effectively if one imports eg. an .odt document with styles already embedded, they can only be deleted one at a time. Even if multiple styles are selected and one attempts to delete them as a selected group; suprise! only one will have been deleted.
OK, so let's attempt to delete the next unwanted style. Oh no! the style editor window has snapped upwards, meaning one must (1) drag the bottom of the window downwards to reveal all the styles. 2. Delete and repeat, again and again.
