It's a bit quit on IRC, so I thought I'd email. For your views. What's the current state of play for SVG support in Scribus? I'm asking because the topic was raised in the Inkscape developers meeting today.
My summary, as good as I can manage, was as follows: Scribus currently supports rich vector and bitmap graphics, enough for the majority of the requirements for SVG, especially shapes and clip art etc.. but not to the extent of supporting filters. Text may be handled a little differently in Scribus, formatted text frames as opposed to an ad-hoc text layout. Support for importing and exporting documents in Scribus is cumbersome and error prone, as discussed with ale, Scribus could really do with a fresh modernized modular file format, a bit like SVG. That would in turn make it easier to import and export documents into scribus that are in other formats. _______________________________________________ scribus-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus-dev
