Code / Re: Proposal for new SLA file ...
Last post by MrB - November 23, 2024, 12:01:03 PMAll the ideas are great. They just need ordering so they fit with releases etc.
I think they can be worked on simultaneously too.

Beginner Talk / Re: Images are gone when expor...
Last post by AdmFubar - November 22, 2024, 04:46:18 PMI'll bet you have the image set as not printable. Right lick the offending image and select the info entry, the last entry in the list should be the printing status.
If set not to print, then you need to go Properties panel, and in the section labled Levels, there are two rows of buttons to the right. Second row last button, should say enable disable export of object. I'll bet this button is set to not print the object. click the button and check the status of the image again and see it the printing has been enabled.

Beginner Talk / White space at the end of text...
Last post by AmazingBite - November 22, 2024, 03:13:59 PMHi
I'm new to this software and I'm trying to make a cover for a book.
I wanted to have the title in an arc of circle.
I did a Bézier curve and assigned it to the text.
To make the title go from left to right I used the forced justification but a white space remains at the end which ruins the symmetry.
Here an image

Sorry for my english, I hope you understood my problem and can help me.
Have a nice day

is this a problem with every scribus file or just one misbehaving document?

Code / Re: Proposal for new SLA file ...
Last post by tim_occ - November 22, 2024, 01:06:39 AMCraig, I agree with your arguments, including that Scribus needs improvements to basic features first, such as tables, vector path editing, master pages, and more.
The collaborative work aspect naturally adds more complexity to the topic, and a new file format can be given lower priority. It was just an idea I had in mind.

Beginner Talk / Images are gone when exported ...
Last post by fernanda - November 21, 2024, 09:06:48 PMHi!
I use Scribus 1.6.1 on mac and whenever I try to export or print to pdf, the images are not visible. There is just empty space where they should be.
I have used Scribus several times before and have never had this issue. Does anyone have suggestions on what I could try to fix this??
Thank you!

Installation and Setup / Re: scribus on 4k display
Last post by a.l.e - November 21, 2024, 08:32:03 PMif you can compile scribus yourself, you can try the development branch scribus 1.7 ...
it uses the newest Qt and might correctly support higher resolutions.
... and, now, you can even save from 1.7 into 1.6 format! (so no warning about not being able to open the file with a stable version of scribus : - )
if you're not happy with it, i can check with my old Dell laptop, how i had set it up there (but i was just setting the QT_SCALE_FACTOR and/or accepting that everything was very small)

Installation and Setup / Re: scribus on 4k display
Last post by ajwe - November 21, 2024, 03:32:09 PMI hope it's okay that I add on to this thread, as I'm having the same problem as the original poster. I recently dumped Windows and moved to Linux Mint 22 and am hoping to be able to use Scribus. However, on my 3840x2160 monitor, it's very difficult to use. I tried a previous suggestion (setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR) and that makes some things like fonts bigger, but it doesn't fix all of the problems. Attached is a screenshot where the icons at the top are painfully small and on some of the popup windows the choices in the left column aren't readable (and resizing the window doesn't seem to allow me to resize that left column).
I have made other preference changes to Linux Mint's Display to get most other applications to look right (Monitor Scale set to 150% and using large icons on GIMP, for instance) and it seems to be working very nicely overall.
Any suggestions for other things to try to make Scribus work? Thanks!

Scripts and Plugins / Re: Improve the Own Scripts me...
Last post by AdmFubar - November 21, 2024, 03:41:00 AMShouldn't the "refresh" be a menu entry in in the scripts menu?
and for the menu entry in the list of scripts, a title entry in the script itself to define its name?

Code / Re: Proposal for new SLA file ...
Last post by AdmFubar - November 21, 2024, 03:32:17 AMQuote from: MrB on November 20, 2024, 10:35:14 PMThe file format needs to be comprehensive and contain everything to support transition between computers, operating systems and versions of Scribus. Therefore, I believe omitting default values is not possible as they may change between versions of the code.Was about to mention the version differences. glad it was noted.
