Scripts and Plugins / Get or Set Image Rotation
Last post by BS69 - April 08, 2026, 04:17:55 PM
Hi, I can't find the script commands to Get or Set the rotation value of an image inside its frame. Ther's nothing about that in the API documentation : https://impagina.org/scribus-scripter-api/image-frame/

afaik it works as long as the last line contains at least one descender. otherwise 'adjust frame height to text' cuts the last line of text.

(sorry for the delay)

The Adjust Frame Height command cut off the extra return.

I added a few extra return lines to see how it would behave and simply pressing my quickkey, the Framing goes through each one, one by one, eliminating the extra space, and ultimatly also cuts off the text.

So, sometimes it works, sometimes is fails. I could be due so the characters? Fonts?... I don't know.

All that to say, it's a bit buggy. If someone tries to fix this, I'd be happy to test it out.

Windows / Not showing my directories
Last post by graybeard76 - April 08, 2026, 12:50:00 AM
I am a brand new user, trying to switch from Microsoft Publisher before it goes away.
When I go to try and open a file, or save the document I am working on, the dialog box is not showing me all my directories.
For example, I navigate to my Documents folder, and the only folder it shows is "Outlook Files".  But I have dozens of other directories in my documents folder.  Why is it not showing them?

I was just viewing the pdf on screen, and when I zoom in it looks ok.
I will try to print it on my desktop printer.
How to be sure it will be ok on the offset printer ?

You say it is "printed", do you mean you have tried printing on paper?

If you are just viewing a PDF on screen, it may just be bad "font hinting".

Is it bold even if you print on paper or zoom in?

I figured out what was going on. For some reason, many empty text boxes and at least one text box with my desired text had been superimposed on top of the original box. This was different than I had experienced in the past because I had always pasted onto a new page, not the same page. Problem solved.

You are right, I didn't use styles, it's my first project with Scribus,4 weeks ago I knew nothing about it.
But I am almost finished, and the printer agreed to a few pages sample !
I tried with another font on one page, and it's ok, no bold letters.
sla files are plain text, I could try a replace all with a text editor ?

Latest news :
I tried with yet another font (Verdana 10pt) , and the same letters as with 'Open sans'  are bold in the pdf
