Hi again, in July and December 2015 this list has helped us getting our workflow ready for our weekly distribution of decorated proverbs via WhatsApp and a web page.
Ever since 2015 we are manually using File > Export > Save as Image ... > and then we click on several options and set file type etc. Since all our proverbs include at least one SVG vector illustration, typically from Openclipart.org (and since some of those SVG have technical issues), we have found those bitmap-exports a great help. We know that "normally" Scribus output should be PDF for "real publications" (not the point here). As our proverbs are becoming a success, we are also pasting them up on paper in the villages and are also making printed tarps (rather big PVC-sheets for hanging outdoors) with collections of many proverbs. So we are now generating four different exports each week in different file types and different resolutions and qualities, ranging from lightweight jpeg-thumbnails in 150x150 px to printer-ready PNG in much higher resolution. That is a lot of clicking and mistakes are happening with options or with file-names. Now I am trying to create a Python script to help our team with all the exporting (so that the work is less tedious but also for having less human error in the process). I have a script with "import scribus" and I get an error message like NameError: global name 'ImageExport' is not defined I found class ImageExport(object) in the Scribus help under Scripter API. Obviously I am missing something but I looked at the wiki and tried searching this mail archive. I came up with this detail from Christoph: On 7/30/2015 8:27 AM, "Christoph Sch?fer" wrote: > There's not much to be maintained in Scribus itself here (other than > correctly setting up CMake for every platform), since export to these formats > is handled by Qt, not Scribus. What would it mean for a script just sending the entire page of a one-page-Scribus-document to the ImageExport() please? Do I need something like "import Qt" or does it get much more complicated? Are there any examples at all, where I could spy on ImageExport() or on any other stuff that involves Qt? Sorry if this is an annoying newbie questions, I am indeed still a newbie with the scripting, but I believe this is doable with the right syntax. Thank you, Martin -- ZASKE Martin responsable G?G?
