Linux / Off Page Frames not visible
Last post by itchka - Today at 04:09:53 PM
 Hello can anyone help. My distro has updated to scribus 1.7svn. It is working fine apart from one thing.. I cannot see off page frames. It used to be possible to use the off page area as a kind of holding area but although the frames can be placed there they are no longer visible. Is there some obscure setting I need to change?

Hi everybody,

So i try to import pdf file, it work but scribus add a line in the logo...

I don't understand why ?

Have you an idea ?

Thank you.

Beginner Talk / Dividing my Text Frame into co...
Last post by Actinia - Today at 11:31:06 AM
I am new to Scribus (using 1.6.3) and have run into a problem on my first page. I regularly produce a newsletter with a masthead and a series of articles, each in two columns. Each article comprises two Text Boxes, the first with the Title and Author, the second with the main body of the article. I had no problem with creating the Masthead with an Image Box and a couple of small Text Boxes. I was able to create the entire document with two columns, but this does not seem to allow me to create separate articles with two columns. I used the help facility for 'columns' and I cannot find anything that works. Most of the information seems to be for previous versions of Scribus.

Right-clicking in a Text Box would seem to be the obvious route, but this does not bring up any options for columns either in the main list or in any sublist.

Quote from: AdmFubar on March 15, 2025, 05:08:36 AMHaving a key combo to move the contents of a window around kind of fell by the wayside. Better mice these day use the scroll wheel for such actions. I take it you use a standard apple mouse?
If so you may want to invest in a mouse with more options.
I have a logitech 705, the scroll wheel has besides the scroll up and down has a left and right scroll, plus a click if I push down on it.  Not certain that macs support this type of actions via the mouse. I would think they have such support for it.

You can add key combos for the zoom action, via the preferences. It is the third selection on the left in the preferences window. (file/preferences) Scroll or collapse the menu entries in the list will you find "View". You can add the needed key combo to a zoom level.

Hope this helps.

Very helpful - thankyou!

In Swedish they are called "Versaler" and "gemener". Also small caps are called "kapitäler".

The "internal editor" is hardly used today, double click on a text frame and you can enter and edit the text.

But Ctrl-T should work when you have a text frame selected (but without a text frame selected Scribus would not know what you want to edit).

I am new in Scibus. I have installed Scribus on Linux Debian version 1.5.8 and on Windows 10 version 1.6.3 but in both the command "Internal Editor" are disabled.
I can't insert text into new document and I can't edit text in uploaded document.
Some ideas!
