it could be extended to also allow applying direct formatting

Nice idea.

Having C&P panels that can be undocked and fulling opened for ease of access would benefit workflow.

Maybe it makes sense to split such a huge content panel into small panels. But this change would require a good concept, especially in comparison to the other content modes of the content panel.


Just an update from my side. The former font feature section has been reworked. On hover of an option, you can see a preview of what it is doing.

btw, i'm still convinced that for speeding up the application of styles, this is the way to go:

... it could be extended to also allow applying direct formatting...

time will (maybe) tell.

Would be nice to be able to do this as and "eyedropper" action. to be able to pick up the styles from a formatted section and then apply them as needed.

I do not remember exactly which number, but the version in the repos is very ancient. Please download the AppImage of 1.6.2, make it executable and run. It should work. I am using it quite often just on the Mint 22.
Best regards, S.

Linux / Scribus Does Not Start

Last post by SirMix - October 03, 2024, 04:30:16 AM

On Linux Mint 22 I installed Scribus by package manager.
When I try to start Scribus in the console I get the error:
scribus: symbol lookup error: /lib/libGraphicsMagick-Q16.so.3: undefined symbol: heif_check_filetype

I do not know how to solve this.

it would depend on how many options are available in each panel. Character and Paragraph styles I think would be used more often than text columns. Having C&P panels that can be undocked and fulling opened for ease of access would benefit workflow.

will one be able to separate the sub panel as a floating window?

You mean separate panels for paragraph, character and layout?


At the moment this is the first version of what I had in mind, with the proposals from a.l.e

Some places still look strange, like the button pattern in Alignment section. Typography section is also not done.

Currently, I'm not sure if the style selection should be split.
