Beginner Talk / copy a frame shape to another ...
Last post by Skrol29 - March 30, 2025, 06:45:57 PM
I have multiple text frames with the same complicated shape (uneven rounded corners).
When I modify the shape of the master text frame, I'd lime to apply this change to all other text frames.
Unfortunately, the feature "Copy item properties" does not copy the shape.

Is there a way for copying copy a frame shape to another frame ?
Or is a there a way to save a shape in order to apply it back again from the shape menu ?

My personal opinion is that while it would potentially be possible, Scribus is most likely not the best tool for it.

Some reasons:
- There is a learning threshold (Scribus is not always intuitive to use)
- Scribus has mainly be designed to create print-ready PDFs
- You are mentionining "organize", which I think is very different from "design"

Could anyone please advise whether Scribus would be good software to organize a printed loose leaf photo album as well as a slide show?  Thank you.

Right click on the image, and in the popup menu select Preview Settings, and see if Image Visible in checked. If not select it and does the image show?

Raster and Vector Graphics / Display of imported images
Last post by pierruel - March 28, 2025, 03:40:55 PM
Hello !
Sorry for my poor English. Precedently, when I used to import an image into an image frame, I was able to see really the imported image (and adjust its size, its position, aso). Now, instead of the image itself, I see only its properties (a small text with filename, size a.s.o.). How could I retrieve the former behaviour ? Probably a wrong setting of a parameter ? Thank you in advance. pierruel

You need a left and a right master page, and apply them to the corresponding pages.

@MrB would it be possible to produce a 1.6.x Appimage with the same versions of the libraries as for the 1.6.x on Windows?

What I meant was, although I have made master pages, that I have placed text frames in them and I added a page between chapter 8 and 9. Now, all chapter 9 main body text frames are slightly of center for their respective pages (a little bit to the right for the left pages and a little to the left for the right ones). What I am searching for is a way for the added text frames to automatically center themselves based on if the page is right or left. (And still be able to move them, if needed).

Quote from: Buch on March 25, 2025, 06:41:19 PMHow stable is 1.7? Should I upgrade if I want to work cross-platform?


1.7.0 is quite stable. It's more about functionality stability than crashes etc. You should not use 1.7.1.svn.
However, 1.7.0 is not going to solve this issue if all the base dependencies are the same. Better to stay with 1.6.3 for production and experiment with 1.7.0. Interface is quite different.
