Beginner Talk / Re: Premature text wrapping in...

copied and pasted the table into a new document. and it behaves as it should. I think your document may have some damage to it.

Can you share a sample .sla file that shows the issue?

Tables have been redone very recently and we might be able to fix this or it has even be fixed already...

Oh, looks like I've hit exactly the same problem, in Scribus 1.6.1.

I have a table with two columns, and for no apparent reason the cells in the bottom one or two rows of the second column linewrap the text after a maximum of 4 characters. I've checked and double checked the text settings of each cell and there's no difference between the cells that are doing line breaks correction and those that do them after 4 characters. I've tried adjusting all the text properties related to alignment, spacing, margins, etc. but none of them stop the problem.

Beginner Talk / Full Path to Image File in SLA...

Last post by abend - June 24, 2026, 07:56:02 PM

Windows 7
Scribus 1.6.4

Is there a way to get an image file's full path into the sla PFILE entry?

Is my question answered by a newer Scribus on Windows 10?

The PFILE entries in my sla files are relative, like this: PFILE="../../ImageFiles/P1/P1S1.tif".
Can I get Scribus to enter a full path like this: PFILE="Q:/photo/Files/ImageFiles/P1/P1S1.tif"?

hi craig

a .dmg for 1.4.7.svn would be great.
i tried to compile scribus a couple of times and failed with one exception. (trial and error...)

I think it is working in 1.7.4.svn... I did make some changes recently that may have fixed the issue. Are you able to build Scribus or should I make an SVN based DMG?

Hey utnik,

Thanks so much for the help! Finally managed to delete them!:D

Oh, I see... I guess I'll have to stick to creating palettes with 1.6 them :/

And yes, I'll file the bug report.

Thanks again!
