could be issues with memory not being released correctly from other programs. (as you are running yours for several days at a time)

have you tested your computer's memory? if you are running an x86 or arm cpu try here;

just to make sure.

I think you may be right about an issue with my computer, because upon re-starting the program after a few days (and I am sure I re-started the program before I posted the thread as a first line troubleshooting attempt), I am able to edit the document. I hope it stays this way!

Hi

On the Scribus wiki
there is a script which is supposed to give a list of all scripter commands and parameters.

If I execute in the script console
import scribus
d = dir(scribus)
print(d)

I get a list of all the commands and parameters

This script
https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Category:Scripts#Auto-Output_all_Scripter_Commands
formats what is in this list d.

How should I run this script? If I run it in the console I get an error message.

The output of the script run in 2018 is posted here

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.

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?
