I use nothing but Open Source software and I live in the world of Linux. I have a problem with that because many projects don't offer executable binary versions for my favorite flavor of Linux, Slackware. For Scribus I compile the latest svn versions of 1.4.3 and 1.5.0 overnight. For some other products in the graphics and multimedia areas I switch to a Debian variant called Knoppix and download the product there from their repository. The developers of Scribus try hard to satisfy all their audiences, but I note from frequent messages here and on other mailing lists that Mac users are last in line and for some reason the most difficult to satisfy, despite having a OS that is based on BSD, an Unix variant. the Mac is user friendly but not particularly developer friendly or so it seems. Perhaps some other Mac user can offer you some helpful advice. I only comment on what I see. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
