Scribus Tip

[mihmo]

If you design something in Inkscape and are looking to Scribus-ify it, you will save yourself a world of pain by opening the Inkscape SVG directly in Scribus (the file extension is hidden by default, pick 'all files' in the file extension dropdown of the open dialog) rather than importing the SVG

Scribus should use as native format

[anonymous]

Scribus probably should drops its wierd internal XML format and adopt SVG Print as its native format. It would make moving back and forth a great deal easier.

One question: can you opem multiple SVG fiels on the same windows from Scribus?

Re: Thanks

Nope :(

But this tip is useful if you did ALL the layout in Inkscape and just want to Scribusfy to set up the bleeds and color. If you've a bunch of simpler SVG artwork from Inkscape, I bet import won't choke on you the way it choked on me.
