Summary0011698: not able to load or display vector graphics in image frames?
Descriptionin scribus 1.4.3 i can't import .svg files in image frames any more. this may not really be necessary, but sometimes it's convenient to make a text flow around a contour line.

as in scribus up to 1.4.2 .svg files can be placed in image frames there is a compatibility problem. when opening a .sla file created in 1.4.2, this vector files aren't displayed or exported to .pdf any more.

in standard layout view, they are marked with a red cross and the file name. the 'preflight verifier' reports them as missing images.

at least inside the 1.4 branch the .sla files should be compatible…
Steps To Reproducetry to place a .svg file inside an image frame ? leads to the red cross with the file name.

place a .svg file inside an image frame in scribus 1.4.2, save the file and reopen it in 1.4.3 ? same result…
Additional Informationtested on mac os 10.6.8 and windows xp

Sorry, you could never load SVG files into image frames, only EPS, PS and PDF files.

in 1.4.2 you can (at least in windows xp and mac os 10.6.8) – i'll try to upload a test file.

the .sla frame opens correct in scribus 1.4.2 (with .svg in image frame). but in 1.4.3 it doesn't work – it may be a bug in the older version, but it's a bad one… i received a file and wasn't able to edit it…

You could not and you cannot load SVG files into image frames, not in 1.4.2, not in 1.4.3, not in any other version. This never worked and is a feature that still has to be implemented. Stating anything else is like saying the sun revolves around the earth.

 screenshot of a svg in an image frame on mac os x and scribus 1.4.1.

no idea why it works... but it does!


i would be looking into this, but i'm busy trying to understand that "chariot of sun" thing...
it's crazy: all my knowledge about our galaxy messed up through a single svg file loaded into an image frame.
