I usually use the latest nightly svn of 1.5.x when doing my work. But I always have a week old copy and a month old backup version if, as can be expected from time to time, the latest version has a problem.
Using last night's version everything went fine until I tried to save a pdf file but then Scribus crashed. Fortunately the Scribus autosave file was available. I renamed this file and opened it using my weekly backup version which had the date of May 17 2015. I added in the last few strokes to the image and saved as pdf. That was successful. I leave it to others to see why this might have occurred (I have two deadlines to meet today and tomorrow) but I just wanted to give the community a heads up. The May 20 version of 1.5.1 crashes when you try to save an X:1-a pdf file. So use an earlier version if you have it or even 1.4.x. for new work. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html
