For beginners, I can recommend a video tutorial series on YouTube.

1.4.8 was the last version of 1.4.x. For those that want to build 1.4.x, there are more fixes still in 1.4.9.svn.

Hi All

FYI I have announced the string freeze for Scribus 1.6.0 at https://forums.scribus.net/index.php/topic,4688.0.html . After these weeks we will work to move from 1.5.9.svn to 1.6.0.

thanks

Languages, Translation and Localisation / String Freeze for Scribus 1.6....

Hi All

I have been messing around in Transifex trying to understand how the new API works etc and finally sorted that this evening I believe.

As such, the ScribusStable project is now ready for translation for Scribus 1.5.9.svn which will become 1.6.0, the next stable release of Scribus. We'd be hoping for completion of the translations by end of weekend 24th September.

Please feel free to ask any clarifying questions and I will respond.

thanks
Craig

Oh- I didn't know you could do it that way as well. This worked perfectly, which solves my problem but still leaves me puzzled why there is no effect when I use the way I always used.

Thank you, Pat, you really helped me on!

Wishing you a fab day
Mel

Hi all,

I've been using Scribus for some years now, and today I'm running into an issue that hasn't been an issue before: I can't seem to change the background color of a table anymore. When I mark the table (or single fields in the table) and then hit F2 -> Color, no matter what color I choose, nothing happens. Before, the color got changed instantly.

I can change the background color of, say, text areas. It only seems to affect tables, existing ones and newly created ones. Does anyone have an idea?

Scribus 1.5.8 on Ubuntu 22.04.

TIA!
Mel
