Simon, you made my day! And I cannot believe I missed that little box (I have it in my 1.5.5svn and in my 1.5.4). So blushing. I often tell my team that 90% of all their computer problems could be fixed by reading ALL that is shown on their screens... Seems I need to swallow my own medicine more.
I just tested it - and it works perfectly. So no more detours through GIMP. Since I can export from Scribus at perfect 512 x 512 pixels I can from now on export straight into my Android Studio project asset folder. Scribus can do it all - if we manage to find where the feature is. greetings and thanks, Martin On 28.12.2018 13:48, Simon Heimbach wrote: > Hi Martin, > > in version 1.5.5 you can export PNG files directly via Ctrl+Shift+E or > File -> Export -> PNG.
