Bonjour.
Non, je travaille sur les mêmes versions de Linux et j'ai téléchargé la version de Scribus il y a quelques jours. J'ai bien indiqué le chemin du disque dur externe sur lequel je veux travailler, mais lorsque je veux importer du texte et d'autres éléments, l'arborescence des fichiers à partir de Scribus ne reconnais aucun disques durs externe

Editing the nodes of the images box is needed if you want to hide parts of the images.

If you want the text to flow around it, you'd better -- as already other people tried to tell you -- edit the contour path.

But I've tried your workflow, step by step, and I could not get the Free Scaling setting to "uncheck" (being a radio button it can not really uncheck, but it would switch to "To Frame Size"... but this does not happen either).

And, in the last several years, I don't think that I've heard of images moving around in the frames by them selves...

If I'm missing out a click somewhere, or doing this in way that Scribus doesn't like, it would be great to know where.

For example, for inserting an image, resizing and adding nodes to allow text to be close to the drawing, I do this:
- draw image box
- get image file (jpg)
- click Content Properties and select 'Free Scaling'
- adjust size of image box
- edit nodes so text will flow around the image as required
- click ok
- click Content Properties.... and sometimes Free Scaling is still checked and sometimes it isn't.

Thanks for your help.

Est-ce que t'as changé quelque chose?
Nouvau système d'exploitation?
Nouvelle version de Scribus?



Did you change anything?
New operating system?
New Scribus version?

Bonjour.
Je travaille essentiellement sur des disques durs externes. Je n'arrive pas à localiser ces disques durs avec Scribus 1.6.1
Merci
Bien à vous
Pierre C-S



Translations: With Scribus 1.6.1, I can't use external disks anymore

Hi! Nice reading. Im actually testing Scribus. Quite good. The issue with wrap around transparency is not so easy as in other programs. But with the help of Gimp i found easy to create svgs with the contour information. In gimp just select all the transparent areas, then invert the selection, then on paths docker, right click, selection to path, and then export it as svg. When you import it on Scribus, it will give you the exact contour of your transparent png

Is this normal for Scribus?

i never had an issue with scribus's remebering of my choices and adjustments in almost twenty years of using the software.
i rather suspect you not to remember a click... (i'm sorry, but it is as it is...)

Thanks all.
Clicking 'free scaling' in 'image properties' has helped, thanks utnik. But it's unpredictable - quite often Scribus forgets I've clicked 'free scaling' for an image. I have to check every image before closing the file.

The (European) Summer 2025 was a low activity trimester for Scribus:

  • New scripter functions: setImagePreviewResolution() and getImagePreviewResolution().
  • Apply paragraph and character styles with the keyboard with shift-Esc (in a similar way as with the "Action search"):
    apply-style-does-work.gif
  • Some more improvement in the naming of the items and attributes in the .sla file format.
  • Add support for newer version for Poppler and and PoDoFo.

... and many smaller fixes and improvements...
