Hi I am a professional magazine designer and have decided to change from Indesign to Scribus and so far I have been very happy - fantastic work. As soon as this issue is complete I will definitely post it as a a success story - which I'm sure it will be.
There are a few things I miss from Indesign, but have also found workarounds - so there hasn't been any compromise YET. In Indesign I was quite comfortable writing scripts and of course it's clear that Scribus' possibilities are even more with Python. Here's a question that I have seen discussed, but I'm unsure of the current status. I need text fitting. In Indesign CS5 I wrote a script that made a little page label indicating the magazine section - it used fitting. I see no way of achieving that in Scribus at the moment. Seeing as all labels are the same font and always one line - I could set the vertical height, but I need the box to find the horizontal width and add a little bit of padding all round. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance
