Agreed Ale.. I would like to see the docs rewritten. We need a platform to do that collaboratively. I have also looked into https://cryptpad.fr/ which is free/OSS too.

Beginner Talk / Re: Image frames with borders ...
Last post by cckborg - December 09, 2023, 05:29:10 AM
Well, I have egg on my face. My contour box had gotten so messed up that I deleted the image and started fresh. The shape edit dialog feels more quirky than I remember, but I was able to achieve uniform contour line expansion with the image centered. I had copied my file (a Christmas letter) from Dec. 2022 (created with the previous Scribus version), and had originally kept the old image box and replaced the image with a new one. I don't know if that was the source of my problems, but I seem to be back in business.

I have a similar question. I am using Scribus 1.5.8 on MacOS Sonoma 14.1. In the past the Properties -> Shape -> Edit dialog had an icon which would expand the border in all directions equally, leaving the image centered. (I also seem to recall there is a difference between Contour lines & bounding box, but I'm not sure about that.). Presently, all I see are a single arrow, either pointing up to the right or down to the right.  When I click on the up to the right arrow, the box expands, but the image is no longer centered. Reset contour lines or all edits does not restore things back to how they were before I clicked "edit." (i.e. contour line & image frame identical.)

Is there a distinction between contour lines & bounding box? How do contour lines relate to frame? What happened to the icon to expand the bounding box equally in all directions? What is the best way to achieve a uniform buffer of white space around an image box for wrapped text?

$ scribus

if you're using a flatpak

$ flatpak run net.scribus.Scribus


if you can run the AppImage, from the directory where the AppImage is
$ ./scribus-1.5.8-linux-x86_64.AppImage



I'm very sorry -- I meant to post this to the MacOS forum.

Quote from: PatJr on December 08, 2023, 03:45:00 PMdunno, can you open a terminal and start scribus from there, some times you get more information output to the terminal to help figure out what's going on

I don't know how to start Scribus from the Command line - can you help?

MacOS / Spinning "Wait" pinwheel
Last post by DanMacKay - December 08, 2023, 02:54:14 PM
I recently upgraded my M1 MacBook Pro to MacOs 14 - now on 14.1.1.

I *think* since the upgrade to 14, Scribus 1.5.8 displays the spinning "Wait" pinwheel forever for some documents.  I have to Force Quit Scribus; Force Quit says, "not responding."

I have a hunch, but no evidence, that this is related to my Mac storing images on the Cloud and Scribus is waiting to retrieve them.

1) Do you have any suggestion about how to diagnose it further?
2) Have you had this? What did you do to fix it?
