Nope, They are a bunch of clever coders... > > I'll download 1.1 at work tomorrow. If the screenshot is any indication, > this looks like a huge leap forward. Scribus once again outpaces my > expectations. Thanks once again, Paul and Franz. That screen shot was taken from my home workstation which has an OK video card running at 1024x768. The display on a 21" screen at 1520x1140 @100 hz with a high end Matrox video card, running Mosfet's Liquid theme for KDE 3.1.3/RH9 with all the transparency and shading effects enabled on a DTP workstation at one of my clients is simply stunning. It is not just the display, but the redraw speed is much faster with fewer un-needed redraws. Do not forget the other goody in this release is the SVG import plug-in - not exactly a half hour job. It works really well with well-formed compliant to spec SVG. Once you import SVG and un group the elements, the SVG elements are editable - *Nice*. In testing, I could swap SVG files between Sketch and Sodipodi to Scribus with few problems. Cheers, Peter
