Raster and Vector Graphics / Re: error with many images

Why not give 1.5.8 a try? It works very well and is more 'stable' then the unstable imply.

OS ?
CPU?
memory?
free disk space on the drive you are saving the file to?
are your pictures in the same directory, sub directory as the scribus file?
all pictures jpg?
1.5.8 has an image cache setting that might help for your document?

Raster and Vector Graphics / error with many images
Last post by JL-MZ - September 23, 2023, 10:52:05 PM
Hello
I recently started using Scribus 1.4.8. My goal is to make a photo book of about 200 pages, each image is about 2MB. But from 140 pages, the images are no longer displayed, (we just see the name in red) as if it saturated. Is this normal, what is the limit?. If I try to make a PDF, it does not work. If I do not display the photos on the document, the problem is the same.
Excuse my bad English

Quote from: chalo24a on September 23, 2023, 03:12:56 PMWhen I go to Import the PDF Document, I only have the option to choose a single page- even though the source document is multi-page. Other radio button options are greyed out. Is this expected behaviour?

What version of scribus are you using? In 1.5.8 i get to select all pages, single page, or a range of pages.

technically, it makes some sense (one is a paragraph setting, the other a character one)... but i must admit that i have found it by clicking around, not because i thought it was the most logic place for it.

Languages, Translation and Localisation / Re: String Freeze for Scribus ...
Last post by a.l.e - September 23, 2023, 08:27:13 AM
So for those who want to help translating:

The following languages seem to be fully translated and do not need further help:

  • Dutch
  • Esperanto
  • Chinese (China)
  • Slovenian
  • English (Australia)
  • Hungarian
  • Basque
  • English (United Kingdom)
  • Croatian (Croatia)

The following languages are almost fully translated (>= 98% that means less than 200 words to be translated) and contributing just a few words might help to get them to be 100%):

  • Portuguese (Portugal)
  • Ukrainian
  • Italian
  • Portuguese
  • Arabic

The following languages have more than 90% and if you really have some time you can try to bring them forward (and if several people do it it might get usable before the release of 1.6)

  • Polish (Poland)
  • Galician
  • Spanish (Spain)
  • Portuguese (Brazil)
  • German
  • German (Switzerland)
  • French
  • Norwegian Nynorsk (Norway)
  • Russian

(as an example, German still has about 1000 words to be translated but most of them seem to be names of languages that do not have a translation in Scribus...)

The other languages probably need more care and, depending on the type of strings that are still missing, it won't be easy to get them fully translated before 1.6 is released.
but: what is translated will be included and strings that are translated later will get into 1.6.1 : - )

What do you need to do if you want to help out? The "easy" way is:

- You need to create an account for Transifex (if you don't have one already)
- Join the "scribusstable" project.
- Find "your" language.
- Join the language.
- Ask to be a member of the language with the "dots menu" next to the "View Members" at the top right of the page.

And, of course, you can always get the .ts files from the Scribus source code (https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus16/-/tree/main/resources/translations?ref_type=heads) and upload your translations to the bug tracker (https://bugs.scribus.net)

hi ale

thank you for the information. i might never have found it.
it's a bit strange that the setting for the 'consecutive hyphenations allowed' is in the 'properties' tab and the one for the 'smallest word' in the 'character style' tab of the paragraph style.
i'm thinking about an entry in the bug tracker...

Installation and Setup / Re: Toolbar icons still tiny (...

Scribus 1.7.x now uses SVG based icons where we can scale, and recolor. We may be able to introduce different sizing for 1.6.x in a later release.

https://app.transifex.com/scribus/scribusstable is the link on Transifex for the 1.5.x codebase, which will become 1.6.0. You can use the direct web interface to complete translations. I will download them from Transifex into our code repository.

please try with 1.5.x

1.4.x has not changed (much) since 2012, so it's not really a surprise that its shortcomings have not changed either.

in 1.5.x (soon to be 1.6), you cannot change the size of the icons either, but the size might be saner (it should support high resolution monitors).
