User Interface / Indigo UI: Outline Palette
Last post by tim_occ - November 30, 2024, 08:13:05 PMHi all,
I've been thinking about some changes to the outline palette.
In my opinion, the current Outliner is missing some functions that would give the user a better overview of all objects.
New:
- Master pages and document pages are organized into sections
- Each page object shows information about the layer, locking status and visibility in PDF documents
- Visibility and locking status, as well as the object name, can be changed in the Outliner
- The filter filters the list by object types, such as text, images or vector path objects
Any other ideas about what is missing or would be useful?

depending on the .pdf you may keep the vector graphics.
an imported .pdf file is a group of items. you need to ungroup them (sometimes you have to do this more than one time) to reach the desired sub-group or single item...

Last post by zenny - November 30, 2024, 09:26:27 AM@utnik Thanks for the prompt reply.
I got a notion from your reply that it would be easier to create a new document from scratch than relying on the one imported from PDF.
Anyway, I appreciate if you have any idea to trace just the layouts from the imported vector image in Scribus, similar to `Trace Bitmap`in Inkscape? Just curious and have a nice day.

you may take the imported document as a 'reference layer'. but i think you have to rebuild the layout on top of it (and delete the 'reference layer' or at least uncheck visibility and printing...)
'page' → 'snap to items' may help a little bit.
i don't know a faster way – sorry!

Last post by zenny - November 30, 2024, 07:15:11 AMHi,
I just imported a PDF from my old designs (the original were lost) as vector image, but could not figure out to maintain the old page layout only, but not contents. Is there a way to do so?
I tried grouping the layout, but the sections that contains texts also get grouped together. I want to fill-in new contents by using the layout as a placeholder.
Thanks and Cheers,

Last post by utnik - November 29, 2024, 04:59:27 PMthis '#' symbol in the scribus help might be outdated. in recent versions i see a real number in the masterpage. (but the way to insert page numbers didn't change...)

Beginner Talk / Preserving italics from EPUB t...
Last post by Gy1l0om - November 29, 2024, 02:38:07 PMHello there !
I'm re-editing texts I have in EPUB format. I believe Scribus cannot import EPUB texts directly (is that correct?), so I thought of converting them to TXT files first. Which works decently well with a few tweaks. One problem I still have is the loss of all formatted text, mainly italics.
What would be the easiest way to keep italicized text from an EPUB file ? Can I use simple HTML tags such as <i></i> in my TXT file ? I would then search and replace whatever way the EPUB files use for indicating italic style and replace it by a simple <i> tag ?
Thanks a lot for your guidance !
