Last post by dante nirvana - April 10, 2025, 02:49:43 PM
I'm not exactly a "beginner" with Scribus since I'm using it since version 1.5.x, but now I'm working on a very big text with many words I rather not hyphenate.

So i ask this: is there any better way of inputting a "Ignore List" than doing it word by word?

Thanks in advance.

Beginner Talk / Selecting a floating frame
Last post by Actinia - April 10, 2025, 01:24:47 PM
I am creating a newsletter with articles in a text frame and with various photos floated within the text. I can create an image frame, get an image, set the frame size to that of the image and set the text wrap properties of this image frame. I can then drag the image frame into my article text column at a suitable place and, if needs be move it around.
However if I come back to this image later, I find that I cannot select the image frame. Clicking on it selects the surrounding text frame. Curiously, if I try later I find I can select the image by clicking on it. This is typically after I have inserted another image frame.
I suspect that this is something to do with stacking order. Do I need to bring the image frame to the top of the stack? If so, how can I do this if I cannot select the image?

Beginner Talk / Can I create unequal column wi...
Last post by Actinia - April 10, 2025, 01:08:59 PM
I am creating a newsletter. Typically I have articles laid out with either two 90mm columns or three 60mm columns. I frequently include images which float within a column. Mostly these images can be nicely sized to equal the enclosing column with.
Occasionally I have an image that needs a different width. If I insert a 75mm image into a two column layout the wrapped text lies in a fairly narrow strip which looks ugly. Most of the time I can get round this problem, but occasionally I would like my text frame to have two unequal-width columns. Is thgis possible?

General Discussion / Re: Window resizing issue.
Last post by a.l.e - April 10, 2025, 08:48:21 AM
Just to be clear: you're speaking about windows of documents inside of Scribus or the Scribus window as a whole?

Anyway, I have no issues resizing the Scribus window (since I'm using a tiling window manager, I'm doing that all the time) nor maximizing document windows inside of the Scribus window (had to try it out, since I never do that).

Question: X11 or Wayland?

General Discussion / Window resizing issue.
Last post by AdmFubar - April 10, 2025, 03:06:19 AM
I think i've found a bug, or at least a quirk.
Was having an issue with resizing a window where double clicking the title bar wouldn't resize to full screen (minus kde's toolbar at the bottom). The zoom status, page number setting, layers, current cursor coordinates, and measurement weren't visible.

Solution was to un-dock all the panels and then resize the windows. Has anyone else experienced this?

Last post by SteveD - April 10, 2025, 01:54:42 AM
I have page numbers on master pages that are displaying correctly on the document, but when I go into edit the master pages the page numbers are not displayed at all, so I can't edit the font, etc. Is there a workaround for this?

Check in menu File/Document Setup, In the window, look for Display, and the the Scratch Space tab, There is a horizontal and vertical spacing adjustment, set to a .5 inch or about 14mm. does this correct the issue?

I have a document with bleed on all four side of each page. The bleed guides display correctly in Single Page layout, but in Facing Pages layout the bleed on the inner edges is not displayed. Is there a way to correct this?

Sounds like you need to use the 'Apply Master Page' dialogue to reapply the correct master pages from where you added the page between chapters 8 and 9.
