Hello, you're right, many data missing. OS Windwos 11, Scribus version 1.6.3, pictures are on a local drive. Folders are as follows:
main folder EDEL4, in that folder my Scribus file
                   subfolder pictures, contains 65 .jpg files
Is this clear enough ?
From the root folder:
E: = local drive
first level folder: E:\mes projets
second level folder: E:\mes projets\EDEL4 as above.
Thank you in avance
Regards
Pierre

Thanks Hannes.

I think you can delete all references to that Scripter NG.

It will never become reality: it's based on an engine that has never been used in production and is unmaintained since at least 20 years (I didn't check it again, but that's the order of magnitude...)

A new scripter engine would probably built upon Pybind11 and use the updated interface to Scribus from the good old scripter.

BTW, if somebody wants to work on it, I can provide files to play with pybind11 in Scribus.

Hi Ale

Thank you for the explanation about the status of a new scripter engine. I am fine using the scripter API as it is now.

So for clarification I updated on the wiki the "Scripts root page" by moving an updated version of the note about a new scripter engine to the bottom of the page.
https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Category:Scripts
When it is ready it may be put back to a prominent position again.


I also updated page
https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Scripter_API
to include that the web page maintained by you https://impagina.org/scribus-scripter-api/ refers to version 1.7.

In addition I added the tip by prcek on  how to get the current API by using in the console the snippet

import scribus
help(scribus)

I guess that goes for what is actually implemented. And might be more up to date then what is in the Help window. However I am not sure about that.

Screenshot?  I'm am thinking there is a more serious issue regarding your computer. There are some details we'd need to know about your setup to help troubleshoot the issue.

What os and version? What version of scribus? How many files are in the folder where your images are stored? Local or usb drive where the images are stored?

it's F4 that should show the Style Manager.

you can change the shortcut in the File > Preferences.

Maybe you have created layers and are working on a layer where the objects are not placed? Or you have locked a layer?

As utnik says, use a newer version of Scribus, 1.4.8 is very old and back then Master Pages were always behind the page content.

Yes, this is a bug in some 1.6.x version of Scribus if I recall correct.

I remember seeing a changelog saying the bug was fixed.

Raster and Vector Graphics / Importing Images
Last post by pierruel - July 17, 2025, 07:23:41 PM
Good evening,
I hope my English can be understood ! When I import an image into an image frame, the process is incredibly slow. It takes 15, 20 or more seconds before a folder opens. And at least half a minute to import an image into the selected frame. Is there something I can do in order to have things going faster (other features of Scribus seems to run at a normal speed) ? Thank you in advance. Regards. Pierre
