Quote from: a.l.e on January 26, 2024, 11:29:02 PMmartin is proposing a new widget for colors. would you mind discussing with him, a way to integrate the color creation in there?Sure, I'll open a new topic.
Quote from: a.l.e on January 26, 2024, 11:29:02 PMit would be nice to have somebody create a list of detailed feature (my pet feature would be to keep the imported colors inside of the frame and not pollute the document's colors list)What sort of things do you think ought to be mentioned? IMO it ought to work just like raster images in frames. I agree with you on the colors list.
Quote from: a.l.e on January 26, 2024, 11:29:02 PMlinked vector graphics:Yes, I suppose so. Now that I think of it, an option to link or embed (convert to Scribus curves) would be useful. I suppose a big hurdle here might be the lack of a good QT SVG renderer (Like KDE is dealing with when generating SVG thumbnails for dolphin). Linking is imminently useful because you can open end edit with your preferred vector editor, save, and the linked SVG updates in Scribus)
that's probably a sub task of vector graphics in frames... i guess.

That way, if you have already positioned an image vertically, you can hold a key and drag it horizontally only without losing the vertical position.

scribus does snap to bleed...
more reliable snapping]:
what is missing for you?
Quote from: a.l.e on January 26, 2024, 11:29:02 PMdockable paragraph / character styles dialog:It would be nice to have a panel that displayed a list of styles. From that panel, the user could make a new style (this could open and use the existing styles dialog), apply a style to either an entire text frame or selected text, clear style overrides from text frames / selections, delete, duplicate, and rename existing styles. To be honest, this functionality could even be incorporated into the text properties panel.
for editing the styles or applying them?
Quote from: a.l.e on January 26, 2024, 11:29:02 PMright click to update paragraph / character style:Yea, now that I think about it I agree with you on that one.
https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=579 / personally, i'd prefer a button in the palette, rather than a context menu.
Quote from: a.l.e on January 26, 2024, 11:29:02 PMi'm currently working on a proposal for the simplest use case: creating a line style based on the selection. if i get it to work, i'll propose it to martin and see if/how he can integrate it in his UI work.This will make a big difference in speeding up workflow! Having to directly set up styles in the styles dialog really slows me down when I'm just trying to play around and see what works before committing. (Of course, I know that I could play around anyway, but I'd just have to duplicate all of that work in the styles dialog)
Quote from: a.l.e on January 26, 2024, 11:29:02 PMit's not easy to get specific features to be added to scribus.Yea, I'll need to explore Mantis a bit more. I'm used to other platforms and I find it quite difficult to search through Mantis.
maybe, the best thing one can do is to comment on the patches that have been done and help the brave ones that do make patches to improve them.
and, when the patches seem to be ready, help convince the team that it's now time to review the code and give feedback : - )
Quote from: a.l.e on January 26, 2024, 11:29:02 PMsadly, creating conceptual UI / UX papers has only worked once in the history of scribus...YES - I'm doing a lot of work in 1.7.0SVN from the AUR at the moment (yea, I know I shouldn't haha); what an amazing difference! Scribus really is becoming not only capable, but a joy to use.
and it only worked because the persone having written the proposal got proficient enough in c++ to create a prototype of it and, then, step by step also programmed real widgets that can be integrated into scribus.
it took years, but it's one of the best things that have happened to scribus in the last many years!
(thanks martin for all your work!)
Quote from: Aleks100 on May 02, 2024, 10:29:24 PMFor start in "A5 Venite fedeli (Stefani-Wade) (accordi).pdf" colors are wrong.I had not noticed that. In fact, all the PDF output from Musescore has registration black instead of K black.
They should be 100% Black - they are 300% mixture of CMYK.
In booklet every page with notes have same mistake.
Pages made in Scribus are fine, 100% Black as they should be.
Does all text have to be searchable?
Below is pdf converted to grayscale

If I am not wrong, a PDF can be added to a Scribus document in different ways. Did you try to import the PDF into an image frame?
Because I think otherwise the contents of the PDF is imported as individual objects.
But I am not sure if importing it to an image frame causes it to be rasterized.
