Code / HLC Colour Model saved as Lab ...
Last post by Darkoni - December 10, 2023, 10:36:20 PM
Scribus has these Colour Models:

* CMYK
* RGB
* Web Safe RGB
* Lab
* HLC

When colours are defined with HLC Colour Model, they are actually saved as a Lab Colour Model !?!?

Here is how it is saved in Scribus .sla document:

<COLOR NAME="ColourLab" SPACE="Lab" L="100" A="0" B="70"/>
<COLOR NAME="ColourHLC" SPACE="Lab" L="70" A="23.9414100327968" B="65.7784834550136"/>

Why is that?

it would help, if somebody could make a good formal proposal that considers all options, use cases, and edge cases : - )
Essentially it is there with the collect for output, Prolly need a lil tweaking to make it work remotely.

I have the equivalent  of a super computer on my desktop. Lots of storage(it is cheap these days). this isnt the days of 8bit machines and floppy disks.

I have a fonts directory in my home directory, that keep fonts i want to use for dtp there. That way i dont have issues using fonts installed system wide. You just need a few installed system wide.

As far as I know you should not need to add the system fonts folder to Scribus, the reason Scribus is not picking up the fonts is probably that Scribus does a quality check of the fonts and does not load fonts that have issues.

I think starting Scribus from the command line shows how it checks the fonts and what fonts it accepts.

Windows / Can't access additional paths ...
Last post by pfc - December 10, 2023, 03:25:51 PM
There are lots of fonts in my laptop that I would like to make accessible to Scribus (1.5.8 - Windows10). If I follow File>Preferences>Fonts>Additional Paths> Add, the fonts folder (C:\windows\fonts) cannot be found; it is not visible as one of the sub folders in c:\windows. If I write to select C:\windows\fonts I get the message "The folder name is not valid". What am I missing, or doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

If you have a lot of images that are used in several different projects it would cause tons of duplicates.

But an option to "link" or "save (copy) in project" would maybe be useful.

There is also the picture manager, maybe it could get some improvements to replace paths in several documents at the same time?

I would probably rather look at using sed on the Scribus documents to replace paths (I assume they are in clear text in the documents).

Quote from: MrB on December 09, 2023, 11:37:55 AMHave you tried File->Collect For Output?
I still think this should be the default way (or at least user settable) to save scribus projects.
