Summary | 0006882: Recommend removing ImageWizard.py from version | ||||
Description | I would recommend removing ImageWizard from the included scripts for the following reasons: 1. It uses tkinter, which is a rather clunky interface, does not generally show any updates while you are selecting various items in the dialog. The dialog is so big it covers up most of the document, and if you reposition, there is no background document update. 2. Most of the operations in ImageWizard are already available in Properties Palette: flipping images, moving images in frames, moving frames, scaling image to frame, and frankly done much better and easier there, with visual feedback as you go. 3. I have not seen the alleged ability to use the script and do other operations in Scribus actually work -- this may in part be because you wipe the main window clean by moving around the dialog. The wiki page admits that PP is likely to be nonfunctional while the script is running. | ||||
Additional Information | To be sure, the wiki page at http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Image_Wizard_Advanced shows some interesting effects, but perhaps this script could be scaled down to accomplish the custom frame part, and leave the manipulations to Scribus proper. I think this script is an illustration of why you should use a script to do things difficult or tedious with Scribus, but leave the things that Scribus does well to Scribus. | ||||
