Hi I've come across an odd but really annoying bug. I've haven't added it to the bug tracker yet, in case there are other tips or ideas, or workarounds to get around it.
A colleague designs files in Scribus 1.3.3.8 on Windows. I use Ubuntu Linux 7.04 and Scribus 1.3.3.9 to open up the file. I get a lot of cases of broken image links. Images are linked relative from the document itself to the image filename. This is how to reproduce this, if I open a Scribus file in one directory, say /datasheets/product1 then open another Scribus file that is in a different directory, ie /datasheets-old/product2 then images on the second file don't load at all. 'Manage images' shows an expected folder directory that is derived from the previously opened Scribus file (product1). I haven't tested this thoroughly, so I'm not quite sure exactly what the problem is, but its confused me for a while. Simple workaround is to quit Scribus completely, and open up file 2 on its on, then the images all load perfectly. Can someone try to replicate this, and see if they get the same incorrect behaviour? -- Kind regards Julian Robbins Applications Engineer Q-par Angus Ltd Barons Cross Laboratories Leominster Herefordshire HR6 8RS UK Tel +44 (0) 1568 612138 Fax +44 (0) 1568 616373 Web www.q-par.com
