I am using 1.3.5 of very recent vintage. I right clicked on the map image taken from one of the templates and clicked on "edit image." Immediately I was taken to Gimp. Maybe it is just a menu issue. What I see as edit image is what you see as "edit from an external program." (Gimp had problems with the jpg image but that is not a Scribus problem. I am still trying to get Gimp to upgrade properly on my Slackware system. There is something bollixed up in gegl and so on. But that is not the issue here. ) -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm
