Out of curiosity, what do you use? Straight win32 API coding? MFC? A cross-platform toolkit like GTK+, WxWidgets or FLTK? The reason I personally like Qt so much is that it's native C++ (unlike GTK+, which has OK C++ wrappers these days but even so works very badly with exceptions - and never used to work decently with C++ at all), it's a clean and pleasant API, and it provides cross platform abstractions for much of what Scribus needs. That said, I think you'll find that Andreas and Craig Bradney were trying to say that Qt is the only viable option *for* *Scribus* given that we're already heavily reliant on it - not that it's the only usable toolkit full stop. > So you're telling me I can't use Scribus, unless I break my document > into small parts. Maybe not even then because of the way it handles high resolution images. There is definitely a point where a single image is too large for the current Scribus buils to cope with, but I don't know if you've hit it on your particular machine. -- Craig Ringer
