Hi, in version 1.3.9, I could not correctly apply paragraph stiles from within Text Editor (tried it both on a Windows Vista and a Windows 7 64bit PC). That features is lovely and workes fine in version 1.3.3.14. Does anyone know if there is a known workaround (except applying stiles within layout-view, which works fine)
Thanks in advance, Siegfried Note: In general, I think Scribus is great. We use it to create a monthly magazine for a bartering/alternative currency system. -----Original Message----- From: scribus-request at lists.scribus.info [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 05.

(or becoming a terrorist by: - stealing a computer - stealing a dvd with os x 10.5) joe, i don't know if you're comfortable with OS X and ppc, but it's two times end of line: there have not been any consumer PPC computers for years and most applications don't support 10.4 any more. and if you have read my past emails, you would know that i've tried hard to get an official .dmg for os x 10.4 but failed. and you would also know that i've promised not to help any people, to get scribus to work on a 10.4, anymore ciao a.l.e ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2011 10:04:33 +0100 From: "a.l.e" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [scribus] install failed To: scribus at lists.scribus.info Message-ID: <20110105100433.6de77b30 at eisflach> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 5 Jan 2011 09:40:00 +0100 Jouni Filip Maho <jofimaho at gmail.com> wrote: > On 5 January 2011, at 09:24, a.l.e wrote: > > > > you may have missed the step where > > > > "Activate the unstable packages (fink commander > preferences > > > fink, Use unstable packages")." > > I did at first, and it gave me an option to install version 1.2.5.

I dont particularly find tooltips an annoyance either. But what I do find useful and have mentioned before is that Inkscape has a useful feature (and is a similar app in many ways), where at the bottom the screen in a single line in the GUI interface there is always mention of how you can use the button (command) that you are hovering over or have selected. ie if you are using a Move tool, this line adds info that is pertinent to _exactly_ what you are doing. ie if on a left hand top grab bar of an object, it says 'Rotate selection, with Cntrl (in Bold) to scale uniformaly, with Shift to scale around rotation centre'. So if you're not sure for example how to scale it uniformly it gives you a clue. Using other grab bars on same object gives different relevant info on the possible actions from here. I've found this type of system with a more complicated app such as a graphics tool like Inkscape, really really useful.
