Fascinating. Thanks utnik - sure enough, I can't see an email listed for your posts/account. It must only display for the user.

General Discussion / Re: Site without a donation bu...

As far as I know there is no way to donate money to the Scribus project.

Reasons are that first of all there are not a lot of use for any donated money, apart from server hosting.

Second, the money needs to go somewhere, and if a privat person gets them there are tax issues. And there is no organisation (like corporation or non-profit organisation) behind Scribus.

Beginner Talk / tool bar
Last post by Olga R - January 27, 2026, 08:24:40 PM
Hello, I have just installed Scribus. I have a Mac using Tahoe. I was used to InDesign but with my new computer I would have to buy expensive subscriptions.
I looked up some tutorials but they always have the tool bar. I don't see mine! I looked up everywhere and can't find it.
Thanks for your help!

It may be that it's just a quirk of how your own user profile displays to you? But when I look at my own posts, they all have a "email" icon next to the "personal message" icon. When I hover over it, it shows my email address. And then if I look at my own user profile, that also lists my email address in plain text.

Looks like I'd have to find a image hosting site to share a screenshot of what things look like on my end. But if the email isn't showing up for anyone else, then it's no problem. Just a bit confusing to the user (why would I need to email myself?)

As far I can tell, users should not be able to see other users email addresses...

Do you have any evidence of that not being true?

Scribus forums / Forum settings - hide email
Last post by Lynn - January 26, 2026, 11:38:31 PM
I am sure there is a setting on this forum's user profile to not display your personal email address to everyone who opens the profile. However, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? I could not find it under Account Details, Forum Profile or Alerts.

Announcements and Forum Rules / Re: Scribus 1.7.2 released
Last post by Lynn - January 26, 2026, 11:25:08 PM
Thank you!

This might be a stupid question, but the wiki pages for these releases all point to the issue tracker website to see the changelog. In this case, the wiki points to https://bugs.scribus.net/changelog_page.php?version_id=131 When I try to open these pages they always say "No Change Log information available".

Do I need to make an account to be able to see the change log, or is it getting accidentally hidden?

General Discussion / Re: TOC functionality in 1.7.x
Last post by Lynn - January 26, 2026, 11:21:56 PM
I haven't tested it in 1.7x, but I did write a script for applying character styles to elements of a TOC this weekend for my personal use. Might be helpful if anyone else is running into the issue of wanting differently style titles/page numbers in the interim - https://github.com/notwhelmedyet/ScribusTypesetting/blob/main/NicheScripts/styleTOC.py.

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the appimage for 1.7.2 and I see this feature was indeed added on in the development branch! All the fields that are edited for the child style have a "revert" button available to swap them back to the default parent style setting.
