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.

MacOS / Re: 1.6.6 Unstable on my Mac
Last post by AdmFubar - July 08, 2026, 09:06:16 PMbefore you reinstall, which wont really do anything for you anyway, exit scribus and locate the configuration file for scribus. there should be a scribus directory in ~/Library/Application Support , rename the directory to scribusold, then restart scribus (directory may be named .scribus.
When scribus restart it recreate the configuration files with default values. try opening or recreating the document with issues and see if the issues persist.

Looks like it's just pasting the name of the file.

MacOS / 1.6.6 Unstable on my Mac
Last post by TNGEO - July 06, 2026, 05:05:30 PMI updated to Scribus 1.6.6 on my mac studio (Tahoe 26), and find it unstable. I closed the program, installed it, rebooted my computer. Now, when I paste images in a text box the whole page goes blank, as do following pages. They come back in flitty ways, not conducive to document development and editing. Is there a bug fix for this yet? If not, I will try to reinstall the previous version.

Beginner Talk / [SOLVED] Text Frame Columns
Last post by briheart - July 03, 2026, 12:48:18 AMI'm trying to figure out how to edit the number of columns in a text frame. Everywhere I've looked, people say to go to the properties of the text frame, but I'm not seeing any way to edit the number of columns there.
I just downloaded 1.6.6, so it can't be that I need to update.
Here's a screenshot of what I see in the properties window.

Last post by a.l.e - July 02, 2026, 09:31:33 AMHard to say, why it was not working for you.
Did the issue happen with 1.7?
What you can do:
Start working on a Scribus sample document, watch if it automatically saves the document, kill it after a few minutes without saving and see if the work has indeed being saved.
Check also if the "rescue" documents have been created and if they can be opened.
And report your findings : - )

Last post by a.l.e - July 02, 2026, 09:19:50 AMThe first rule of Scribus is not to use the Story Editor (if you don't really really really need it for the specific task).
Then, you're likely picking the font for the text display in the Story Editor, rather than setting the font the text will be using in the frame.

Last post by AdmFubar - July 01, 2026, 08:38:57 PMDid a quick test here and got the italic font showing in the document after reloading.
Now let me make sure I understand what you are asking about. The italics are not showing in the document? or the italics are not shown in the story editor? If the later, it's because scribus uses one font and style that is set just for the story editor.
Let us know which it is.
