If you go to Document setup and Guides, there is a section for setting the Placement of guides relative to each other and the Content Objects.

Layout Issues / Background shape hides margin ...
Last post by bryder - April 01, 2025, 12:03:24 PM
I'm using Scribus 1.5.8 on Ubuntu 22.04. The document consists of two pages. All guides, including the blue margin guides, are visible by default. On the first page, I placed a shape to serve as a green background. This works as intended, but as soon as the shape is present, most guides disappear—only the baseline grid and the red page margin lines remain visible. The blue margin guides in particular are missing.

If I lower the opacity of the shape under "Transparency," the guides reappear.

Interestingly, when I open an older document from 2021 (created with an earlier version of Scribus) in version 1.5.8, and which also uses a shape as a page background, the guides display correctly.

Is this a bug in the current version of Scribus, or am I missing something in the setup?

Raster and Vector Graphics / Re: Display of imported images
Last post by AdmFubar - March 31, 2025, 10:03:11 PM
Took me a moment to find it as it isnt in the preferences. In the drop down menus, select View/Image Frames and make sure Show Images is checked. This should make all images show when loaded.

Where is the directory of your images? and how many files does it contain? What OS are you using and what are your hardware specs?

Good morning AdmFubar, thank you,
The solution works perfectly, but there is another aspect (?) of the problem; some time ago, when I clicked on Import an image, the real image was directly displayed, without I shoud open the pop up menu and choose Image Visible. Now for each image I have to follow this "long" procedure.
Another problem about images: when I choose the directory where I have my images, I have to wait 40 to 60 seconds until the list of the images is displayed. Doesn't seem normal. My PC is not particularly slow  ;)
Thank you in advance
Regards

Not yet. Hopefully object styles will be implemented at some time.

Beginner Talk / copy a frame shape to another ...
Last post by Skrol29 - March 30, 2025, 06:45:57 PM
I have multiple text frames with the same complicated shape (uneven rounded corners).
When I modify the shape of the master text frame, I'd lime to apply this change to all other text frames.
Unfortunately, the feature "Copy item properties" does not copy the shape.

Is there a way for copying copy a frame shape to another frame ?
Or is a there a way to save a shape in order to apply it back again from the shape menu ?

My personal opinion is that while it would potentially be possible, Scribus is most likely not the best tool for it.

Some reasons:
- There is a learning threshold (Scribus is not always intuitive to use)
- Scribus has mainly be designed to create print-ready PDFs
- You are mentionining "organize", which I think is very different from "design"
