hello list, i would like to make some suggestions, too.
1) according to all the import-filter-wishes (quark, pagemaker, indesign) i would like to add corel-draw and adobe-illustrator-files and macromedia-freehand-files to those, which are also worth to think about as well.... maybe - to avoid a too much fragmented discussion on the import-export-certain-file-types - it could be useful to discuss this with a single "thread" there could firstly all wishes for supported file-types be collected, then in a second step be disccussed form several point of views (and maybe voted?) and then become part of a todo-list or let's better say a list of "wishes for certain file-types to be supported" what do the other listies think about this? 2) according to all the other dtp-proggis i'm using over the past years, there where always some options integrated in those programs to handle the so called "bleed-limit" of pages. i didn't find a similar function in scribus - so i think the workaorund for a while will be to make the page-size increase on the amount of the bleed-limit i would like to have, and then adding "borders" for my pages..... ...but as far as i know it from many other commercial (so called professional-dtp-software) programs, it is handled like this: the page is setup and displayed the size it will be after being printed and being cut. so you let all objects in your layout "hang out" a little over the page-edge. when publishing/exporting/printing/making films of it, you tell in some dialog-boxes your proggi how many millimeters this bleed limit is (in most cases something between 1 and 5 mm) and the proggi prepares the outhanded data with an increase at the edges with these given amount. is a similiar function planned for scribus or will it be like i described it in my supposed "workaround" for it? best regards, Patrick --
