The context is that I'm continuing to use Scribus for layout of Chess Canada magazine (48 pages, bi-monthly, several thousaand circulation).
I've already had a bit of success using Emacs to edit an .sla file -- with trial and error, I got rid of some junk objects. (These were mainly objects I'd dragged off the page and lost! They showed up with Scribus 1.3, but deletion in there was no good because I needed Scribus 1.2 to be able to read the .sla file.) Can someone recommend a best available Emacs mode for editing .sla files? (Can I hope for scribus-mode?) Where is the best gentle introduction to .sla structure? The immediate problem (and I'll still care about the above questions even after this is solved) is that my PDF bookmarks seem to be mysteriously disappearing. Sometimes some of them show up, sometimes none. Sometimes I'll have something that shows up in Scribus 1.2 (actually 1.2.2.1 or whatever) as being a bookmark, but doesn't show up in the little bookmark window, and when I then switch off it being a bookmark I get disappearance of some other bookmark from the bookmark window. Pretty confusing! But I'm guessing that if I find out what to look for in the .sla file then maybe I can sort it out. Fond regards (this is a great mailing list!), -- John (MacPhail)
