Thank you for all your answers.
I am using Zorin OS 16.3. Scribus is 1.6.4.

It seems I can work around these problems, if I am going to use Scribus.

Like Goldenbrown said: "You can create sections in Scribus, but you can't rearrange them as easily as drag and drop." This is something that would be so great to have, to be able to rearrange chapters.
In my case I need to do some writing and editing in Scribus, because of the nature of the book (lots of images and diagrams, it is about electronics).

I actually bought Atticus, because I was giving up on Scribus. But now that I am trying out Atticus, I feel it is very unintuitive and I don't like it at all. While Scribus is more complicated and I had some problems, it is more logically laid out. Not sure what to do now..

Windows / Re: 1.6 Installation Issue

as already written above:

  • pick one security solution and stick to it (windows defender is probably a good and safe choice)
  • only download scribus from official sources (or from sources you trust)

and if you have security issues, ask a reliable, trusted expert, not a forum in the internets.

p.s.: the official installers you downloaded from the sourceforge repository linked from the scribus official page should be safe, but the unofficial ones and the anti malware software you installed might not be safe.

Windows / Re: 1.6 Installation Issue
Last post by yashpwl - May 03, 2025, 07:17:10 AM
Respected Sir,

My PC has Quick Heal Seqrite Anti-Malware, and I was installing Scribus on my PC and got some issues.

ISSUES ARE:

1. My Windows 10 Defender is continuously blocking it.
2. My Anti-Malware or Antivirus is Denying Access to it because of Ransomware, which is more concerning for me

I tried 3-5 times, 2 times from an  Unofficial Source and 3 times from the Scribus's Official website(scribus.net). Please suggest to me ways through which I can solve it.

any other program have issue printing in color for you?

see if you can find anything in the printer setting that might make it print in a lower resolution, like a "draft" or "toner save" mode. I thinking that might have inadvertently been set for color printing.

I did find a "conserve toner" mode that prints in black and white only. is the low quality printing limited to text only? do photos and graphics print ok?

if the kvantum analogy holds, the question would be:

do you have any special theme installed in windows?

for Qt on windows?

I'm pretty sure this is in scribus, I have a similar issue when using kvantum. font lists in other programs  dont  have this issue when using kvantum. will need to figure out troubleshooting this to get you more feedback.

Ensure you have downloaded Scribus from the right place. https://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.7.0/ is the location. That installer filename you have is not correct.

Otherwise, I am not sure about the problem you mention. Likely OS related I think.

P.S.: ... and I wrongly deleted his post instead of mine. Sorry.
