Scripts and Plugins / using shapes with ScribusGener...
Last post by zeroheure - November 04, 2024, 11:50:44 PM
Hi
I wanted to use Scribus pre-defined shapes with ScribusGenerator, so I browsed the XML in the SLA file. Looks like it is not possible, the shapes are defined with coordinates and the FRTYPE number is the only way to recognize them. Am I wrong ?
Is there a way to use other shapes, like ones created with Inkscape, with ScribusGenerator ? Did someone already tried this ?
Any help welcome. Thankyou.

PDF Generation / PDF Text Distances not being h...
Last post by MGD4me - November 04, 2024, 10:14:42 PM
I created an Application form (ver 1.62) for our hobby club, requesting some of the usual personal details, like name, email, phone, etc.

The form has labels, followed by a text field for data entry, something like this"

Name:  [         ]
Email: [               ]
etc,

In the text field, in Content Properties >> Columns and Text Distances, I set the Left spacing to 0.125 in, so that any text entered would not be "slammed" hard against the left hand side of the field.

I can see the that there is a visible vertical "mark" in the text field, confirming that this is where any entered txt will be placed. I have also have set the field with a coloured background, so that the field is more apparent.

However, when I export the Application form as a PDF, the offset, or Left spacing is lost when viewing on a computer screen. When text is entered into any of the fields on my laptop, it is hard-justified to the left, losing the 0.125 in space.

Is this normal, or is there any workaround?

Thanks.

Languages, Translation and Localisation / Re: Transifex updates

ScribusStable (in Transifex) is the 1.6.x stable code branch. It doesn't mean translations are 100% locked in but are mostly unchanging. We'll be releasing 1.6.3 soon enough. Worth keeping it 100% up to date.

Scribus (in Transifex) is the 1.7.x branch and is definitely not stable. Lots changing here in the UI. Likely we will release 1.7.0 without calling for translation updates. Update at will.

Beginner Talk / Re: Paragraph style
Last post by tim_occ - November 04, 2024, 02:53:58 PM
Yes, just select the frame (no blinking cursor in the text) and apply a paragraph style.
It applies the style to all paragraph inside this frame and linked frames.

Beginner Talk / Paragraph style
Last post by Alcedo - November 04, 2024, 10:22:11 AM
A very basic question. I have text frames with many paragraphs and want the same style for the whole text (font and alignment). I defined the style by the story editor, but now it seems I have to mark every paragraph in the text and set the style for each of them. I cant see a way to apply the style for the whole text frame. I guess there is an easier way ...

Languages, Translation and Localisation / Transifex updates
Last post by StephanP - November 03, 2024, 03:24:17 PM
@MrB
In Transifex new texts have been added (recently) to ScribusStable while the trunc branch Scribus remained untouched.

What is the status of the Transifex branches ScribusStable and Scribus and which translation(s) are we supposed to keep up-to-date?

How can translators discover possible inconsistencies between the two branches?

@MrB , It's in the mailing list archives.

I was a bit lucky, and it was one of the first threads I've opened  : - )

Bonjour

J'arrive un peu tard mais si tu n'as toujours pas trouvé la réponse :
il faut grouper les boutons radios qui vont ensemble.

Hello

I'm a little late but if you still haven't found the answer:
you have to group the radio buttons that go together.
