I have put a warning at the start of the thread and deactivated all links.

I'm not deleting the post, since I find it a fascinating example, of how much effort (sweat, GPU, tokens...) a person is ready to invest to create convincing trash.

The most worrying part: multiple people (me included) are spending time and brain cycles trying to figure out what is going on, and finding ways to cope with this craziness...

Finally, this might be the Linkedin profile of the same person...

an AI-expert.
Maybe, we are the ones, who are not getting it...

Sadly, since I'm not logged into Linkedin, I will never known, what the guy is searching...
I hate cliffhangers.

Who is volunteering to check his literary skills?

Concerning the behavior when minimized on Windows:

Not sure how many of the people working on / with scripts are using Windows...
I am not, and I won't be able to try to reproduce, except if you give a "simple" way to reproduce.

Would you mind, trying to find "simple" reproducible steps so that other people can test if this happens also on their machine?

Concerning the crashes when the resolution changes:

You might want to run Scribus while running in a debugger (like gdb) so that there is a chance to figure out what is happening.

In both cases, as soon as you have more detailed information, you might then want to file a ticket in https://bugs.scribus.net

Scripts and Plugins / PDF Export via Script buggy un...
Last post by wu5ch31 - January 09, 2026, 11:53:55 AM
Hi everyone,

I am currently writing some convoluted script to create PDF files (can be several hundred) from existing data. My main PC is running Fedora, and there I have no issues. But when I run the scripts on my Windows machine, I get some strange behaviour:

As long as the Scribus window is active, everything seems to be fine. But when I minimize the window, script execution seems to pause and ram usage is shooting up. I experienced several crashes, too, i.e. when the monitor configuration changes (my docking station is doing funky things from time to time...).

On Fedora as well as on Windows, I am running the latest stable version (1.6.5). Does anyone have similar experiences? The strange behaviour is only in Windows, so I suppose this is a bug, where would I be supposed to report it?

The method for "Adding Hyperlinks to your Scribus PDF document" is explain here : https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Adding_Hyperlinks_to_your_Scribus_PDF_document

You can create a special layer only for the "pdf annotation" (where you config your hyperlink)

Yes I thought that myself @AdmFubar and one of the screenshots is illegible, and not Scribus.

Hi

I'm not sure if this is real or not.
There's no code in GitHub.
The above does not describe the purpose really. The description is very high level expressing potentially interesting things but no detail about how it can help someone in their work.
No description of the AI used, and those requirements.
Windows only is not at all interesting - Scribus is cross platform and so must any solution we would consider including for general distribution.

Happy to hear more though!

check from the command line with the command

man scribus


there are several options to pass scribus information about font location
