Installation and Setup / Re: Setting default dictionary

Yes, the language is a property of styles. It can be set both for paragraph styles and character styles (the latter is useful for mixed languages in the same paragraph).

How to create a separator line between columns in multi-column text frame? Only manually via menu: Insert - Line?

Looking at eg. LibreOffice, it is possible: menu: Format - Columns and there is Separator line...

Not sure I understand the problem but if I understand correctly the spell checker uses language of the text itself: see the language for the actual text in 'Text Properties' window. I would prefer changing the languag for the text via a character style that is used for the text.

The plugin has an add button which reads text from a CMS via API and loads on the page, once the text block is loaded, we can right click on it and load Content Properties.

Since our plugin is also running and simultanously we try and open "Content Properties" it shows as locked. If we close the Plugin, immediately the "Content Properties" are unlocked and we can modify font and other options from content properties

Generally, this topic is solved: either 'Extras - Manager Pictures' or 'Extras - Picture Browser'.

Hm, there's 'Extras -> Picture Browser'.

Cool,... BUT, the 'File/Path' is full path; in the source, it is relative path!?

Should that be full path or relative path to be consistent with SLA source?

Hi all,

it seems to me that there's no way to see full path of an image inside Scribus, or is it possible?

I have a SLA document with 'image/foo.pdf' (image).

xmllint --format Document-1.sla  | grep -i --color=always 'foo.pdf' | fmt -w80
    <PAGEOBJECT XPOS="519.528559055118" YPOS="20.001" OwnPage="0"
    ItemID="1119109185" PTYPE="2" WIDTH="419.527559055118"
    HEIGHT="595.275590551181" FRTYPE="0" CLIPEDIT="0" PWIDTH="1"
    PLINEART="1" LOCALSCX="1" LOCALSCY="1" LOCALX="0" LOCALY="0"
    LOCALROT="0" PICART="1" SCALETYPE="1" RATIO="1" Pagenumber="0"
    PFILE="images/foo.pdf" IRENDER="0" EMBEDDED="0" path="M0
    0 L419.528 0 L419.528 595.276 L0 595.276 L0 0 Z" copath="M0 0 L419.528 0
    L419.528 595.276 L0 595.276 L0 0 Z" gXpos="519.528559055118" gYpos="20.001"
    gWidth="0" gHeight="0" LAYER="0" NEXTITEM="-1" BACKITEM="-1"/>


Steps:

- select an image frame
- right-click: Info - and I see

  Image
  foo.pdf
  Original PPI: 72 x 72
  ...

That is, I do not see the path. If I would have multiple directories with same filename, I might be confused where the used image is really located. The only way seems checking SLA source :-/

If there is not way, I would love to see either:
- full path in the above dialog, or
- a dialog where all used images of the document are listed; an example:
  * page X:
      * 1. <image path> - <image frame name>
    ...
      ...
  (Ideally with possibility to edit the both path of the image and name of the frame).

Your comments are appreciated. Thank you.

Last post by AdmFubar - January 08, 2025, 12:09:52 AM
I wonder, are the "content properties" locked because the "content properties" window is open? "content properties" window is waiting for user input at all times while open and locking out scripts as it may cause a conflict?

try the script with the "content properties" window closed.

Not sure this is the solution. just speculation on mypart

Last post by abi - January 07, 2025, 09:28:01 AM
To give a quick update on this ticket - what we have noticed is that scribus does not allow running multiple scripts simultanously

1st script - the plugin that we have created
2nd script - is loading Content Properties

If we dont close the Plugin, Content Properties stays locked. But closing the Plugin and loading it again from scripts is not a very user friendly solution. If anyone can suggest a work around for

1. How can we close the script by minimising or something like that
OR
2. A quicker way to load the Plugin using some keyboard shortcut or adding it in the menu toolbar icon

Thanks

I tested the export solution and that worked ... I have marked my question solved.
Thank you for the help.
Now I will be posting a question about export options.
