I know exactly what you are talking about. When I made an entire book in 2017, I used a power-editor and went into the XML and used some search and replace to change all First Line Offsets. In our case I was lucky and could change ALL of them, so setting it up only took a few minutes.
You should look out inside the document.sla for a <PAGEOBJECT blablabla settings with your <StoryText> your stuff here In the list of settings, look for FLOP. I have marked the FLOP (maybe First Line Offset Property) in the example below and you got the same options as in the GUI, starting with 0 (Maximum Ascent) so FLOP="2" should give you "Line spacing". If you are comfortable with this type of mild hacking, you can get a lot done in Scribus. Scribus is stable with such editing, I never had unexpected side-effects so far. I would just recommend to close the document in Scribus, while you edit the .sla file and to pull a back-up-copy every time before you hack the XML. <PAGEOBJECT XPOS="1061.4" YPOS="84.6" OwnPage="0" ItemID="156530640" PTYPE="4" WIDTH="142.695488188976" HEIGHT="163.2" FRTYPE="0" CLIPEDIT="0" PWIDTH="1" PLINEART="1" LOCALSCX="1" LOCALSCY="1" LOCALX="0" LOCALY="0" LOCALROT="0" PICART="1" SCALETYPE="1" RATIO="1" COLUMNS="1" COLGAP="0" AUTOTEXT="0" EXTRA="0" TEXTRA="0" BEXTRA="0" REXTRA="0" VAlign="0" >>>>>>>FLOP="2"<<<<<<<< PLTSHOW="0" BASEOF="0" textPathType="0" textPathFlipped="0" path="M0 0 L142.695 0 L142.695 163.2 L0 163.2 L0 0 Z" copath="M0 0 L142.695 0 L142.695 163.2 L0 163.2 L0 0 Z" gXpos="1061.4" gYpos="84.6" gWidth="0" gHeight="0" LAYER="0" NEXTITEM="-1" BACKITEM="-1"> <StoryText>... hth, Martin On 25.01.2018 17:37, pezcurrel wrote: > Hi, > I'm working with Scribus 1.4.6 and I need to set all the First Line > Offset for (many) text frames to "Line Spacing", but I can't find a > quick way to do it, I just do it for each new text frame.
