In fairness it's not a terrible idea/request, but implementing it would require someone with some time and a (lot of) attention to detail to track any changes to the file format.  You would have to work out backwards compatible changes, how to "safely" lose properties and attributes when downgrading, and much more.

QuarkXPress has a separate version update tool.  Perhaps Nairo you could consider making something similar if this is an issue for you?

I know in QXP there's a trick if you hold down certain keyboard keys when opening an older file it triggers some different actions and reflows; perhaps we could have something similar with Scribus to side-step the file version check and hope for the best, but that could cause crashes and YMMV.

Create a new section starting at page 2.

Bonjour,

Je l'avais fait avec une version précédente et je suis incapable de le reproduire avec la version 1.6.2.
Comment commencer la numérotation des pages à 1, après la couverture ?
J'ai appliqué un gabarit couverture sans numéro de page, puis des gabarits page gauche et droite numérotés. Mais la numérotation commence à la page 2.
Merci d'avance.

Ah yes.. plus there is that weird quirk where it moves text columns off the page..
However if you add new pages with multiple text columns then cutting and pasting the text into them should work. Then one can just delete the old pages.

Being professional has nothing to do with with updating. Scribus is free and low cost, as updating will only take some time to do.

If you really want to go that route, you need to edit the sla file and replace the version number with the lower version number of scribus that you are using. You will need to use a text editor to do this.

Quote from: AdmFubar on October 10, 2024, 09:02:23 PMbest solution i can think of off the top of my head, is to use a master page...

this can't work!
in scribus you can't populate master page elements with individual page content.

Features / Suggestion : save to an older ...

Hello,

I installed version 1.6 of scribus, but I had a problem. I would have liked to be able to save my document so that I could reopen it in an older version. I'm thinking that in case of bugs, or in case of "file sharing", it might be a good idea to choose the version in which you save the file.

Well, I imagine it won't be easy, especially depending on the version, with the new features.

However, it could be an idea worth exploring. Here, I've switched to version 1.6 because the 1.5 I have is very slow. I'm trying to convert my daughter's school (they edit a newspaper) to Scribus rather than Canva. I'm thinking they might not bother with regular updates, especially as they're not pro.

So I'm putting the idea forward, in case it's not too complicated or time-consuming.

Thanks in advance  ;D

Thanks a lot, will try that (and have also simply been doing it page by page, as there are left and right pages and also differences in the text box lay outs).

Apologies for delay in replying, work issues and vacationing!

I'm going to spend some time prototyping some ideas to see what does and doesn't work and present some results for critique and direction back here when I have something to show.

Definitely agree that the one-file-per-profile approach is the smartest and undefined values get defaulted 8)
