Layout Issues / Re: Help with image import and...
Last post by SyndrelaHong - July 16, 2026, 02:27:33 PMI'd also check the image resolution and make sure the image frame is selected before adjusting the crop. Sometimes using Adjust Image to Frame (or the opposite, depending on what you want) gives much better results than trying to crop manually. If the image still behaves oddly, it might be worth testing with a different image format to rule out a file-specific issue.

i used it in the nineties. it was called 'vivaPress' and brought some new possibilities quarkXPress and pageMaker didn't offer. but i never looked at it in the last 25 years. (compared with inDesign it was slow on the same hardware...)
what is the frustrating part of the actual versions?

Last post by AdmFubar - July 14, 2026, 11:37:51 PMthese image folder, were they created manually? or did you do a collect for output for these two documents? if the former, then open the documents and do a collect for output "save". you will be prompted to create a save folder, i'm not sure if it will work with the current folders you have, but i dont think it should be an issue. the collect for output function will create a sub-folder for the images for that document. and scribus should reference the image directories separately for the respective documents.
let us know if this works for you.

Beginner Talk / Remembering Image Locationa
Last post by guthpublication - July 14, 2026, 02:04:50 PMI have two unrelated projects, A.sla and B.sla.
Images for ProjectA are located in a folder called ImageA.
Images for ProjectB are located in a folder called ImageB.
If I open and work on A.sla, then open B.sla, I would like B.sla to remember that the images it uses are in the ImageB folder, not in the ImageA folder I was using for the other project. Changing the folder where I have an image seems to change the settings globally, not for an individual sla [similar issues also with where I print a PDF etc]

Last post by SyndrelaHong - July 12, 2026, 10:49:12 AMOne thing that's helped me with Scribus is creating a small test document first to make sure everything behaves the way I expect before applying it to the full project. It saves a lot of frustration if something is off. Let us know what version you're using too, since that can sometimes make a difference.

MacOS / Re: 1.6.6 Unstable on my Mac
Last post by MrB - July 08, 2026, 09:46:11 PM~/Library/Application Support/Scribus and ~/Library/Preferences/Scribus are the two locations you'd want to delete files from, with Scribus closed. Unless your disk is corrupted, removing the Application files will likely do nothing.
