I had scribus.app 1.3.1 installed. I've used an old version of
PageMaker and decided to try moving to Scribus. Two graphics are
used on the test page, both natively TIFF images.
When scribus.app loads, most of the button icons are missing,
but the
You mean they are really missing, not just greyed out as they
usually are while in a state where they are not applicable? Like
the buttons for "Save", "Story Editor" and two or three others on
the screenshot
(Scribus.app)-They are not grayed out, AFAIK; buttons with no icons
include: Save, Close, Open, Preflight Verifier, Save as PDF, Undo,
Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste and others. Icons for creating a text frame
and image frame are present, with some others. All buttons appear to
be working.
console.log reports that the missing icons are null pixmaps, e.g. :
Unable to load icon
/sw/lib/scribus-aqua/share/scribus/icons//AppIcon.png: Got null pixmap
However, the image files look normal in Preview.app
The Scribus.app was not "freshly" built (i.e., from current developer
tools), which is why I built scribus 1.3.1-2. When opening this build
in X11, icons are shown as expected.

text helps show. I created a graphic box and attempted to import
one of the images. No error message was given, but no image
appeared. Image visible is checked under view.
Have you used either "Adjust frame to image" from the context menu
or from the Item menu, or "Scale to frame size" from the properties
palette? It may happen that you get the impression that no image
appeared, but you are just seeing some empty zone of the image.
Yes, but the image frame remains blank. The image is a black and
white (TIFF) design from clip art intended to be used as the corner
of a border. When I create the frame, I see the red diagonal lines in
the box. The dialog box when importing graphics does not show a
preview of the graphic. When the image is imported, the red diagonal
lines disappear, leaving a totally white box. Image visible is
checked. I tried both methods for resizing which you mentioned with
no results.
I found the same thing.
I tried editing the image from the Scribus Edit menu. Gimp came up
with the correct image. Gimp reports the image as grayscale, 1 layer.
It shows the graphic as I would expect. I had previously tried
importing the image into Gimp and doing a "Save As" from it.
This is exactly the same image used in the older Adobe PageMaker
document, and as mentioned previously, I have tried converting it to
svg and openoffice formats.
***Curiously, when I tried exporting to PDF this time, the resulting
PDF showed the border as a green image, apparently sized according to
the graphic box...
It appears there are two issues here, one of which isn't terribly
important (to me). I'm not worried about the missing icons in
scribus.app, since I can always go to X11. I would really like to be
able to use the clip art images. For some reason, scribus thinks the
image is not visible.

I found the same thing with a black-and-white TIFF. With a color TIFF
I was able to get _something_, but the color map was way off. Also,
the previews for TIFFs don't seem to work correctly, either.
By converting the images to JPEG (I used ImageMagick), I was able to
have the show up correctly. Here's a screen grab from Scribus.app.
(the X11 version behaved the same way):

It looks like something is strange is going on in the TIFF handling.
I guess Stan can try converting to another bitmap format for now (e.g.
JPEG) and that should work.

Many thanks to Martin and Alexander-
I had found that a JPEG imported correctly with correct colors. I was
going with the help info which says that TIFFs are best...
I will play with this some more.
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, as you prefer... and Happy New
Year to all!
