Hi, I have been using Scribus 1.4.0.rc3 on my 2011, iMac, running OS X, 10.6.8, Snow Leopard and have downloaded the new 1.4.2.dmg and 1.4.2.pkg up-dates. These both seemed to download OK and open, and I can start to open them with the opening logo appearing centre screen. But both freeze with a message at the bottom right corner saying "Plugin: loading scriptplugin" The only way to remove it is to use "Force Quit" from the finder. The earlier version 1.4.0.rc3 sometimes crashes suddenly so an update would be nice. I don't understand why the new DMG file seems to be missing something. Scribus 1.4.2.dmg download file is 93.4 MB but the earlier 1.4.0.leopard_intel.dmg was 173.1 MB. So a large difference in size. What's missing? Any ideas?

did you download the disc image from the official page? (sourceforge.net)
the file size looks ok.

Yes it was from the Scribus web site.
