Quote from: forest_bear59 on December 18, 2022, 08:01:13 PMI have evaluated the MonthlyCalendar script and find it extremely useful.

Where can I get this MonthlyCalendar script?  I have just installed Scribus 1.6.1 on Linux Mint and tried the CalendarWizard that is packaged with it.  It doesn't work for me at all - it doesn't seem to see the options I have selected.  Either that, or something it needs is not on my system.  I'd hope that everything needed should be installed when Scribus is installed.  Anyway, whatever the problem is, it would be good to try some other alternatives.

EDIT: Cancel question - just found it here on the forums and it says it does not run on Linux. Disappointing.

The proposed solutions display the grid across the entire document, whereas I only want to display the horizontal and vertical guides for the selected image (the guides appear when the image is aligned horizontally or vertically on the page, or aligned with another element on the page).

Speaking of alignment guides.. Is there an option for extending the positioning marks to pass through the pointer? I though scribus did this at one time.

hi pn

either 'view' → 'grids and guides' → 'show grid' or 'file' → 'document setup' → 'guides' → 'visibility' → 'page grid' for the current document and 'preferences' → 'guides' → 'visibility' → 'page grid' as a standard for future documents.

...but if this grid is better than guides (free or in columns and rows), it's probably better to deal with a vector graphic program (like inkscape) than with a layout program like scribus...

The moral of the story is... use SVN for when you want to play around, or are prepared to work with brokenness. Otherwise, stick with the released versions for real work.

Some "releases" of 1.7.1svn had issues when reading files.

It does not happens with Scribus, but a few months ago, while the .sla file was overhauled, it was a bit broken for a couple of weeks.

funny thing :o 

on my 2nd pc windows11:
  • i deinstalled scribus 1.7.1 svn
  • installed 1.7.0
  • scribus crashed during opening the *.sla
  • deinstalled 1.7.0
  • downloaded and reinstalled 1.7.1 svn again

now it works with both files, the orignal file on the flash drive and the one with the collected output.
i will continue my work (80 pages fotobook)

thanks for the tips!

I could not download the whole folder, but I've downloaded the .sla and one of the images (which I then placed in the subfolder images)

I can see the (whole?) text and that image.
This happens on Linux with a fairly current Scribus.

But it's a mystery anyway, why the text is not shown to you...
I don't really see a reason for it.
