Last post by StephanP - January 15, 2025, 10:00:11 PMI downloaded the ts file from Transifex, released it into a qm and copied this resulting file into the Scribus 1.6.3 installation and PRESTO the New document dialog is in Dutch language proper.

Languages, Translation and Localisation / Re: String Freeze Announcement...
Last post by StephanP - January 15, 2025, 09:53:24 PMDo you think this only affects the Dutch translation or could this also play with other translations?
Could this be a cue for a fix update?

User Interface / Re: Indigo UI: Outline Palette
Last post by tim_occ - January 15, 2025, 07:59:05 PMGreat feedback.
@bubu Inkscape was a good hint. They have a good solution for the icon cluttering mentioned by @a.l.e
Update:
1. On item hover you see all toggle options (visibility + print)
2. Only changed toggle options are visible
I didn't fix the indent yet, but I agree that the panel should be as narrow as possible, especially when (in theory) and endless nesting of items is allowed and each nesting has an indent.

QuoteAfter several years, I'm still convinced that deselecting the current item should not make the view in the outline jump around...Yes, if no item is selected, there is no highlight in the outliner. As long as we don't have page properties in PP panel, it makes sense like this.

Beginner Talk / Re: Basic image questions

here i disagree with admfubar. in other dtp software this may be correct. but in scribus you can't insert frames on master pages and populate them on the individual pages.
master page elements in scribus look the same on all pages wich are based on the same master page. (the exceptions are variables like page numbers.)
there are different ways to add similar frames on many pages:

there are different ways to add similar frames on many pages:
- 'item' → 'duplicate/transform' → 'multiple duplicate' → 'by page'
- 'item' → 'send to' → 'scrapbook' (a double click on the scrapbook item will place it on the actual page with its original coordinates.)
- 'page' → 'copy' (if the whole page layout should be used for some following pages...)

Beginner Talk / Re: Basic image questions
Last post by AdmFubar - January 13, 2025, 02:30:26 AMyou can put image frames where you want. Master pages are a bit of a "magic wand tool" that will apply a defined layout to a page. So if your pages can be set up the same way throughout your book you wont have to manually place everything on the page.

Beginner Talk / Basic image questions
Last post by ShaunO - January 13, 2025, 02:07:01 AMHi, Newbie here, liking the program and learning my way around. I'm a photogrpaher, and want to use it to lay out books that will be image heavy, not much text.
A couple question:
Do I put an image frame on a master page, or does it have to be on individual pages, not master pages?
Is there a way to have an image span across the gutter without a break in the image, for panorama images?

PDF Generation / Re: Ridiculously large size of...
Last post by riczan - January 12, 2025, 08:04:10 PMI think I may have found the major contributor to my issue: duplicated pictures.
I have some pictures that are displayed more than once; while these pictures only appear once in the collected output I guess in the PDF separate copies are created, one at each position in the document...
Thanks to all who answered my original query.

Last post by a.l.e - January 12, 2025, 01:17:59 PMSorry, no.
I did some work on it, but the existing code for deleting styles is more intricate than I would have thoughts.
I still don't understand the meaning of all the arguments and how to make it work without being tightly bound to the Style manager.
I have not given up yet, and need to find some time to further dig into this...

Last post by MrB - January 12, 2025, 12:36:34 PMIt looks like the source file was damaged somehow so some strings were missing. This has been fixed now, sorry. TS files in SVN are now corrected.
