Scripts and Plugins / No itemDialog?
Last post by hibert42 - May 18, 2025, 04:02:58 PM
Hey, I tried to add a itemDialog into a Script, as it is described in the API Documentation here:
https://impagina.org/scribus-scripter-api/dialog/

Well... is is not working. The Errors Message says:
module scribus has no attribute itemDialog

The Line of code in my script currently looks like this:
position = scribus.itemDialog('title', 'text in the window', ['apples', 'pears', 'raisins'])
I am using Scribus 1.6.2

is this only available in the comming 1.7 ?

Layout Issues / Copy Size of Object
Last post by hibert42 - May 18, 2025, 03:14:45 PM
Hey,
I am looking for a solution to set the size of an object to that of another.

Example 1:
I have a Text Frame and want it to have the same width as a ceatain Image Frame,
but only the width. Intuitively, I am looking for something like:
copy width from

I know, I can copy the width value and paste it to the Textframe. But maybe there is a script or even a built-in function that already does that.

Example 2:
I want an Image Frame to have the width and height of my page.

And so on and on...

Thanks in advance

Very recently, Nitramr fixed a bug related to the fonts list display:

indeed, one gets easily used to what is shown.

but, i also agree that aligning to what inkscape and gimp do is probably a good idea.

admfubar, would you mind opening a ticket for this?

Hi, I'm not sure we discuss the same behavior. I'm using 1.6.4 and objects rotate counter clockwise as degrees increment. It is the same as in any CAD software I used so nothing unusual for me.
I checked it now with GIMP (2.10) and Inkscape (1.2) and it is as you describe. Apparently standards differ in different domains of software.

Last post by occamsrazor - May 17, 2025, 09:18:06 PM
My footnotes and the style I created for them works well (as long as I unweld them from the main text frame -  things keeps going haywire when they are welded).

However, the following day the style has reverted to some default version, every time. Is there any remedy? Thanks!

(I use 1.6.4)

General Discussion / Rotating Objects.

Was rotating and object the other day, and noticed something (finally) about object rotation. I had always felt it was difficult to use, and noticed that the rotation is indicated backwards. while the 360/0 is at the top, degrees increment counter clockwise instead of clockwise. Had anyone else noted this?
