Hi tray,
If you could please post the script you'd like to use, I can look into this for you. Also, if you could test if this behaviour works the same in an installed copy of Scribus on Win 7, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
[Edit]
I have tried to run a script through the scripter in 1.4.1, and have discovered the following:
- The startup script is correctly saved in prefs140.xml
- When launching Scribus Portable on Windows, with the Sample1.py script listed as the startup script, Scribus crashes with the dialog
QuoteScribus crashes due to the following exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
- If I manually remove the script from prefs140.xml, Scribus loads normally.
- Note that I do not have Python installed on this system, which may be part of the problem. However, if there is an Environment Variable I can set to direct Scribus to Python's path on Windows, I can gladly test if it works in that case.
- Also note that I am in the process of testing the same on a clean Windows machine, using an installed copy of Scribus as a comparison.
[Edit 2]
I have tested this behaviour on a clean Windows machine with an installed copy of Scribus, and have had the same problem. As a result, I have filed a bug report for the issue, as it is a bug within Scribus, not within the PortableApps package. See here for the bug: http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=11336
