locked properties pallet

Previous topic - Next topic

I am writing a book with a lot of images. When I am satisfied with the layout of a page, I lock my text frames and text images.
I must have done something wrong because my properties pallet has been locked for 2 days on all the 320 pages of my book. Does someone have an idea how I can unlock them?
I use Scribus 1.6.4 on a Mac Sequoia 15.6.1.
Thanks a lot

Confusion about locked pallets notwithstanding... have you selected your document and then select all, and try CTRL-L ? this should unlock everything in the document.

Thanks for your answer. But I have tried and failed.
How do you select 1) the document, 2) and then all? Sorry for my ignorance.

a.l.e

Don't select the whole document.

This would defeat your effort of locking what is ready.

My best bet would be that you have created a layer and that you're not on the correct layer (and, possibly, you have involuntarily created a new layer...)

So, you say that your palettes are locked... but can you select items?

I can't select anything on the pallet.
I don't know anything about layers.

Then you should look up how layers work and make sure you are working on the layer where the objects are.

...and you might have locked the layer itself on the 'layers' palette...

Layers dock can be shown using "Windows->Layers" menu (or by <F6> key)

Any job looks easy until you try doing it yourself.

What pallet are you talking about? attach a screenshot of scribus showing the file with the issue and the layers window/panel.
