Quote from: a.l.e on March 19, 2025, 05:57:58 PMnö, you need to go to the Content Properties (F3).

most people have it docked to the right side of their screen (i think it's the default starting with 1.7)
Uhm you mean F2 for properties, at least in  1.6.3. or has  this been changed in 1.7?

I think the Content Properties panel should be renamed Content, as this would match the wording in the drop down menu. Even better description would be Frame as this would align better when using either a text or image frame.

What OS (and version) are you  using?
I grabbed a random .ai file off the net and imported it. No issues.
What software did your friend use to create the logo?

more notes...

what about capturing the (shift-)tab key, while the tools are active?
  • for shapes, it would scroll through the default shapes (as presented in the shape drop downs)
  • for the zoom it would go back and forth in the recent zoom level
  • for the other tools, we can implement a behavior as soon as we find a good one.

when the preview mode is active, you can't see the frames off the page...

i think there might a setting for that, but i could not find it...

i would try "file > import > get vector file" and see if scribus can import the pdf correctly as native shapes.

if that fails:

  • you might want to open a ticket in https://bugs.scribus.net and attach the pdf (you can mark the upload as private, then only the devs will see it).
  • try to load the pdf in an image frame.

How did you "import" the PDF?

If it is a logo, it would probably make sense to use an image frame.

If you are using the import function from the File menu I think it may try to import as vector graphics, but you may be better of taking the detour through doing that part in Inkscape to get an SVG.

Linux / Off Page Frames not visible
Last post by itchka - March 19, 2025, 04:09:53 PM
 Hello can anyone help. My distro has updated to scribus 1.7svn. It is working fine apart from one thing.. I cannot see off page frames. It used to be possible to use the off page area as a kind of holding area but although the frames can be placed there they are no longer visible. Is there some obscure setting I need to change?
