I found a better way, still not perfect but it's really more convenient :
- click on the image you want to update
- menu : Extra > Manage Images
- search for the new path
- it updates the images without resetting the modifications you applied :) cool !

ok, to answer my own question, with a bad solution, but a solution nonetheless, I found out that the windows content properties contains the informations of the images transformations, at least enough for my situation. So i can write them down on a text file, then change the path, and write them back manually. It's long, but it works. Maybe there is a way to do that automatically ?

I have a .sla document, with images that I have already transformed, resized, cropped, scaled, etc. But after some work, I want to reorganize my folders to make more sense, and fix some mistakes in naming. Of course when I do that, the path to the image changes relatively to the .sla document, as expected, so I found the option "content > get image", to point to the new path, but it doesn't keep the treatment of the image, scale and size and crop...

How can i do that ? Am i stuck with the present folder organization and naming ?? I cannot re-do all the transformations manually, there are too much image frames. Or is there an option that i missed somewhere, about keeping the images transformations ?

thank you all for your help on this forum, and for the creation of this software, it's sometimes not very intuitive, but I'm so glad it exists :)

PDF file printing doesn't work as well as native printing for what I am doing (newsletters, etc.).  There are less printer controls available.
It's also easier to print individual pages, etc.

I am not sure what you are doing if you have fewer printer control available in your PDF viewer than in Scribus.

It sounds as if you are not doing as recommended.

Export to PDF from Scribus (do not PRINT to PDF).

Open the PDF in your favourite PDF viewer.

Print from the PDF viewer.

If the PDF viewer does not show as many printer controls as Scribus does, try another PDF viewer.

Thanks RodneyLee

I have printed from PDF files before with Scribus.  See below.
PDF file printing doesn't work as well as native printing for what I am doing (newsletters, etc.).  There are less printer controls available.
It's also easier to print individual pages, etc.

I am also having issues with getting duplex printing from Okular atm. 
I am using Okular to handle PDF files as I am running a KDE desktop.
All other apps seem to find the duplex option okay. 
Okular shows that the printer supports duplex printing but doesn't  make the duplex options available (they are greyed out). 
This makes the original printing problem described in my first post more of a pain.

BTW I did have some Scribus printing issues with the previous printer when I set it up, which could have been postscript-related?  I had to resort to printing to PDF files until it was resolved.
These issues were eventually solved by changing printing to PDF not postscript.  These issues were not found with the other apps I was printing from.  It was a Scribus-only issue.

I am wondering whether the printer is receiving a format or postscript command that it cannot accept/print.  Therefore the print job is cancelled without an error message.

Hope this is clear.

Thanks,
Andrew

what i see in your screenshot looks like a file imported in a document of different page orientation and size.
is this really what you get by opening the template without an open file?

Hi all

I have just installed a new HP Laserjet printer: HP MFC M479dw.
This was to replace a previous HP Laserjet which died.

I could print with no problems in Scribus using the previous Laserjet. 
This was a different model.
I was printing using the PDF option in the File | Print section (can't remember)?


However when I try printing in Sribus with the new LJ:
- I get a brief message saying "printing" on the LJ's panel (this is normal)
- Nothing prints out.
- No error messages or other issues are given by the printer.
- The Log indicates that the job has been completed

I can print with other applications (e.g. LibreOffice) to the same printer queue so the printer configuration appears to be correct.
E.g. LibreOffice & Scribus are printing using the PDF option in the File | Print menu options.

I can't see any obvious problems in the various Printer options.

CUPS tells me that the driver is "HP Color LaserJet Pro M479 Postscript".
I have also tried printing with the Postscript options (e.g. Postscript Level 3).
No luck.

I have also upgraded HPLIP to the latest version just in case.
I am printing to the new printer's queue in case this is not clear.

Any ideas please?

Many thanks,
Andrew
