Free discussion / Importation
Last post by Geoat - Today at 09:13:34 AM
Bonjour,
J'utilise Scribus 1.4.4 depuis de nombreuses années pour l'édition de bulletins d'associations, et j'en suis très satisfait.
D'une manière générale, je mets en forme les articles individuellement, et pour obtenir le bulletin complet, je les compile par « Page > Importer > Créer des pages ».
Pour la première fois en voulant importer un article (sans problème), Scribus plante avec le message : « Exception Unknown ». Que faire ?
Je remarque également que les liens entre les cadres de texte ne sont pas conservés entre deux pages dans les fichiers importés. Il est nécessaire de les reprendre manuellement, ce qui est pénible dans le cas de mise en page complexe. Il y a-t-il une manière de procéder pour contourner ce problème ?
Merci de votre attention.
Cordialement,
Alain

Hi Cedric and Sven-Ola

scribus dot us is not in the hands of the Scribus team and, anyway, it's just putting scribus dot net (ther  real thing) in a full page frame).

But yes, we need better samples / screenshots on the webpage.

In that Mastodon thread, David also mentions his Git repo where he published Scribus sources for his Comic books (also CC-BY). If you have 20 GiB of spare harddisk space, that will probably make a good showcase IMO.

General Discussion / Screenshot on the home page
Last post by cedricr - April 14, 2026, 05:07:35 PM
Hello!

I came to see the homepage earlier today, after reading the announcement about the new version in a post on Mastodon by David Revoy, a webcomic creator working with Krita and Scribus.

I've tried Scribus a few years ago, and was curious to see how it had evolved since, but I was unable to find a screenshot of the app, at least in the first few pages I tried.

A few hours later someone asked David if he had a screenshot of him working in Scribus, and David shared those, under a CC-BY licence

I commented that it would be great to have them on https :// scribus . us, and David okay'ed the idea

What do you think ?

Text and Typography / Re: Select text in linked text...
Last post by juanmallo - April 14, 2026, 03:24:20 AM
Thanks so much, utnik! Surely this problem will be fixed soon. For now, I'll follow your advice about using text editor and I'm looking forward to trying the new version 1.7.3. I also wanted to let you know that I recently discovered a sort of workaround: selecting the first or last part of the text in one text box and then pressing Shift + left or right arrow key you can extend the selection to the other linked text box. It's not perfect, but it might be useful to someone.

hi admfubar

this is used to define custom line types. if you select a line and set the type to 'custom' the ruler and the two fields will show up.

Just noticed this in 1.7.1 (flatpack)
What exactly does the ruler and value and offset option do in the line options?
and why do the disapear when a line is selected?

Showcase / Re: Table with no visible line...
Last post by Denis ROUQUIER - April 13, 2026, 10:34:03 AM
Thank you everybody for the fast answer.  It works. The only thing I had forgotten was to switch to "preview" mode, where the table appears with no visble lines between rows and columns, while in the "edit" mode the lines are still there !!
