-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi list!
I'm new to this list (and to scribus). I'm an experienced Linux user since 7 or 8 years and since a few years interested in graphics and design. Since two years I work at a small (Linux-) Company in germany and in this work position I have to do more and more dtp. Since a few days I mostly took OpenOffice.org Draw for this job but two days ago I was really frustrated with Draw and I looked for some alternatives. I knew since a few month that scribus exists and I thought this is the right time to give it a look. After playing with scribus for a few hours, I have two big impressions: powerful (I really like the pdf functions) and slow. I tested scribus on different machines (slowest is athlon xp1600+ with at 512 MB ram) and it's really slow with larger textframes (i.e. 100x150mm) or bigger pictures. I tried different versions of scribus (1.1.7, different cvs debian packages and even self compiled versions). Moving these frames is really slow, editing text is no fun and when I switch to a different virtual screen and then back scribus needs a seconds until the page is drawn completly. This is happening in a document (size: DIN-A4) with only one page. I think this is getting worse when I have to do larger documents, isn't it? Now my question: is this only me (my version of scribus, my favour of linux, my machine, my life) or is this a known 'problem'? I really would like to make scribus my favorite dtp application, but I think this slowness drives me crazy after working with it for a few hours in real world documents. Besides this little backdraw, Scribus is really great and powerfull application. It can do almost all the things I need.
