Est-ce que ça serait une option d'essayer avec la version de développement 1.7.

Si je ne me trompe pas, la nouvelle version de Qt (le framework utilisé par Scribus) gère mieux les disques externes.

Il y a une Appimage officiel qui peut être téléchargé de Sourceforge (lien depuis le site de Scribus) ou le "nightly builds" créés automatiquement sur Gitlab.

I've tried editing the contour paths and selected text flow around contour path.... it often results in bits of the text being hidden as shown below. (first pic is in preview mode to make it easier to see)

Bonjour.
Non, je travaille sur les mêmes versions de Linux et j'ai téléchargé la version de Scribus il y a quelques jours. J'ai bien indiqué le chemin du disque dur externe sur lequel je veux travailler, mais lorsque je veux importer du texte et d'autres éléments, l'arborescence des fichiers à partir de Scribus ne reconnais aucun disques durs externe

Editing the nodes of the images box is needed if you want to hide parts of the images.

If you want the text to flow around it, you'd better -- as already other people tried to tell you -- edit the contour path.

But I've tried your workflow, step by step, and I could not get the Free Scaling setting to "uncheck" (being a radio button it can not really uncheck, but it would switch to "To Frame Size"... but this does not happen either).

And, in the last several years, I don't think that I've heard of images moving around in the frames by them selves...

If I'm missing out a click somewhere, or doing this in way that Scribus doesn't like, it would be great to know where.

For example, for inserting an image, resizing and adding nodes to allow text to be close to the drawing, I do this:
- draw image box
- get image file (jpg)
- click Content Properties and select 'Free Scaling'
- adjust size of image box
- edit nodes so text will flow around the image as required
- click ok
- click Content Properties.... and sometimes Free Scaling is still checked and sometimes it isn't.

Thanks for your help.

Est-ce que t'as changé quelque chose?
Nouvau système d'exploitation?
Nouvelle version de Scribus?



Did you change anything?
New operating system?
New Scribus version?

Bonjour.
Je travaille essentiellement sur des disques durs externes. Je n'arrive pas à localiser ces disques durs avec Scribus 1.6.1
Merci
Bien à vous
Pierre C-S



Translations: With Scribus 1.6.1, I can't use external disks anymore

Hi! Nice reading. Im actually testing Scribus. Quite good. The issue with wrap around transparency is not so easy as in other programs. But with the help of Gimp i found easy to create svgs with the contour information. In gimp just select all the transparent areas, then invert the selection, then on paths docker, right click, selection to path, and then export it as svg. When you import it on Scribus, it will give you the exact contour of your transparent png
