Dear list, we are preparing a mild re-design of our magazine, to make it more suitable for the small screens of phones.
We also use the occasion to move the entire office to Scribus 1.5.7. I also hope to tune our internal work-flow some more and maybe use Scribus itself to track the status of each article - as our different free-lance team-members do their various jobs. People are working on different computers and projects get moved around, so having the admin inside, might be a bonus (or a logistics nightmare). I have discovered that on right-click certain items like text-frames or image-frames have a tool for "Attributes" with Name, Type, Value, Parameter, Relationship and Relationship to as possible columns. I look through the inbuilt help and the wiki online and found confirmation in https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/File_Format_Specification_for_Scribus_1.5 but no details at all. Now I wonder how we can use these. Are those meant for work-admin for Scribus users, or are those "Attributes" meant for Scribus-only "technical" purposes? Is there a way to have certain Attributes show up in visible form in a document? For example one Attribute could be "domain" and somewhere in our articles we could have a "field" inside a text-frame that would print "Sports" or "Health"? I am thinking of those "fields" that we are using for "page number". Can we have "fields" from the "Attributes"? Is there a way to assign Attributes not just to individual items but to an entire Scribus Document? (I am aware of Document Information in Document Setup, but Attributes seem to be a different concept, maybe meant or not meant for readers of final output?) Is there a tool to manage Attributes, like we have the "Image Manager" to see lots of useful data in one location? Anybody is already using the attributes feature and has tips or warning to share?
