Scribus is completely free and as stated on its website it is free: Scribus works with Windows, Mac OS, Linux and many more operating systems. We may then workaround the issue with a quick script that forces an update of all images.Scribus is an Open Source applications for desktop publishing. If that’s the case, I would then guess Scribus makes an internal render/load of the vector images whenever an option is updated (resize, recheck ‘fit to frame’, URL change,…) that is missing from the SG-generated file. Since the images paths are properly replaced it does not seem to be a problem in your template, nor data, nor SG script, but rather in the way Scribus loads (or doesn’t, actually) the images when opening the document.ĭid you per chance notice if all the hidden images are of the same type (SVG maybe?), while the visible ones would be of another (PNG in your case)? The fourth image shows the settings I’m using to export.įirst time in see such an issue… but let’s figure it out. The third image shows how the file was originally generated with several more “missing” images.

In the second image you can see just by toggling proportional the image appears and is scaled correctly. In the first image below you can see the third row, third column is selected but no image shows (I assume due to scaling). I’ve manually edited the image links to use full variable paths for example: The images are a combination of SVGs and PNGs. 17:37:58 - DEBUG - remove_empty_texts:809 - Removed 0 empty texts items 17:37:58 - DEBUG - create_output_file:734 - output file name is menu_P-generated 17:37:58 - DEBUG - substitute_data:546 - Replacements updated:

17:37:58 - DEBUG - create_output_file:729 - computing output file name from menu_%VAR_card_variant%-generated (count is 16) Please let me know if you need more, it’s very long and the file paths are also long. Part of the log file, the part where it actually generates one of the files. however if I go into the image frames’ Contents Properties and toggle Proportional or To Frame Size (both selected in the original template file) then they suddenly appear, scaling correctly into place. I’m trying to generate files from a CSV but a lot of the images that are being imported don’t look like they’ve been applied.

I’m using ScribusGenerator 3 for Scribus 1.5.8 (64 bit) on WIndows 10 Pro and Windows 11 Home.
