A set of patches to make Scribus "usable"
There are a few very sane request that the Scribus has refused to implement and some important patches/request that have been laying around for years without having been applied.
Most of them are rather trivial to implement.
This repository contains a set of patches that implements those features and can be applied to the Scribus source code and produce a better Scribus.
- do not reset the x,y position and scale when loading a new image in a non empty image frame. #12253
- Activate the new Scripter
- toolbars
- by default place the tools toolbar on the left and hide the other toolbars
- remove rarely used and unstable tools from the tools toolbar:
- table (unstable)
- spirals,
- caligraphy,
- freehand line (that should not be a tool)
- barcode,
- polygon (not 100% sure...)
- by default show the properties palette and dock it to the right side
- by default do not show the multiple actions open / new / template dialog
- remove the "Unlik with copy" and rename "Unlink with cut" as "Item > Text frames > Unlink and cut Text" (or better name)
https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=14327 - remove the confirmation dialog when adding a text frame in the middle of a text frames chain:
https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=14325 - add a "chain before" entry in the "Item > Text frames" dialog
https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=14326 - remove the "Automatic creation of text frames" from the new dialog (eventually put it in the document settings)
- unify the shortcut commands for "Fit frame to text" and "Ajust frame to image" into "Fit frame to content" and assigne the
ctrl-=shortcut.

Defaults:
