General Discussion / AI generated SLA file and prog...
Last post by lib - Today at 12:29:56 PM
Hello!
Does anybody play with AI models for generating SLA files with the use with AI models? I have tried few times and didn't get good results. Obviously, there is no enough data for AI to be able to generate SLA file from zero.
Also, does anybody uses programming languages for creating or updating SLA files?
If so, what useful information and where can be found?

Raster and Vector Graphics / Re: Bad SVG support
Last post by AdmFubar - Today at 04:35:00 AM
Quote from: MrHelpMe on May 27, 2026, 12:13:59 PMI have been using Scribus for years, but I repeatedly encounter the problem of complex SVG graphics being displayed incorrectly. This type of error frequently arises with shading or color gradients. Unfortunately, I cannot simply edit and resave the SVGs in other programs in the hope that they will then display correctly in Scribus.

This question has surely been asked before, but apparently, there is no solution for it.


Well I edited the the image in Inkscape and removed the odd outlines in the image. Viewing in x-ray mode showed where the odd outlines were, deleted and re-saved, Oddly this clip are was created in Inkscape. Where did you get it from? i'd like to investigate it further.

Please create a bug on bugs.scribus.net. Include screenshots of the file in the original editor and in Scribus and we can evaluate if it's an SVG version thing, Scribus missing support for something etc. SVG support was written more than a decade ago with some changes since. There are some settings in tools like Inkscape to save in older versions of SVG that help, especially if removing custom stuff.

If you're publishing things and are using Scribus, you can send copies of a few works to Craig and or Jean...

They would for sure be proud : - )

See as example the relative simple SVG attached. It is always ok but in Scribus terrible.

The normal response usually is: You can't.

There is no organisation behind Scribus, the developers are voluteers and taking donations privately may have tax implications. And it is not money that is lacking, but rather time.

I run a small community publishing shop and we occasionally have a couple hundred bucks free to contribute to good causes.

How can we send some $$ to the developers of Scribus?
