Useful progress update. The full-document search and replace, preferences search, and UI logging window look especially helpful for everyday use.

User Interface / Wrapping Text Around an Image
Last post by zerubbabel - Today at 03:06:32 PM
I have been using Scribus for many years, but in this new version, 1.7.3, I cannot understand the new user interface for wrapping text around an image. Is there any documentation to explain this user interface palette?

Layers are a great idea! I need to look into them—I've never used them before. As for updating the text, you have to do it manually anyway, right?

Les calques, c'est une bonne idée ! Faut que je me penche dessus, je ne les ai jamais utilisés. Pour la mise à jour des textes de toute façon ça se fait obligatoirement manuellement, non ?

But you will probably have to do the translation updating  manually. Someone here might have a solution to automate such a task.

Mais vous devrez probablement effectuer la mise à jour des traductions manuellement. Quelqu'un ici aura peut-être une solution pour automatiser cette tâche.

if it is possible with your layout, i would work with different layers:
  • images...
  • elements unchanged by language
  • first language (deactivated while exporting in the second language)
  • second language (deactivated while exporting in the first language)

Hi

As I'm not an English speaker, I've translated with DeepL. I hope it will be understandable  .

I need to create several brochures that will be bilingual. Should I create one file per language, or is it possible to manage both languages in a single file? This is regarding the layout. If I need to make a change in one language, I'll have to redo it in the other language. This is especially true for the cover, which will have the same layout except for the subtitle. But it's also the case for the page headers, which will be the same for all the brochures.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Salut

Je dois faire plusieurs brochures qui seront bilingues. Est-ce que je dois faire Un fichier par langue ou dans un seul c'est possible de gérer les deux langues ? c'est par rapport a la mise en page. Si je dois faire une modification dans une langue je vais devoir la refaire dans l'autre langue. Et en particulier la couverture qui sera, a par le sous-titre, la même mise en page. Mais c'est aussi le cas des en-têtes de page qui seront les mêmes pour toutes les brochures.

Merci d'avance pour vos tuyaux.

just a small supplementary hint:

after having selected the "consecutive" fonts with the shift key, you can deselect single ones by clicking on them with the ctrl key pressed.

in scribus 1.7.3 you could go to ,preferences' → ,fonts', select the first font, then scroll down to the last one and select it while pressing the shift key. now you might deactivate all your fonts with the context menu. after that just reactivate your preferred fonts. (this won't affect already existing files. but it will work for all the files you create afterwards...)

unfortunately this doesn't work in scribus 1.6.6 as you can't select multiple fonts. here you would have to click once for every single font to deactivate it – a time consuming process if you have tons of fonts...

I am on a Mac, and after a few years, I use only a small number of the same fonts. i have gone into Preferences numerous times, and the list is overkill. Instead, is it possible to build a font library file and remap so only  Scribus uses? My other apps  seem much more efficient at font management?

Thanks
