| Summary | 0010026: Problem importing more than 6 pages sometimes 8 | ||||
| Description | Hi there, to whome it may concern, Im still having problems with importing more than 6 pages. What i did previously i opened a new single A4 page inserted several different image frames and the went to get the images already saved on my computer to be fitted to each image frame. I also inserted text frames, then edited them to type the text i wanted in the frames, once finished creating the whole page i saved it in one of my main folders on my computer. I made about 30 of these pages and saved them into the same main file on my computer. I then opened a new blank single A4 page document to import these pages in to hopefully make up a 10 page document, but when i got up to importing my 7th page, when it got imported it would drop off an image that i made in photoshop but saved as a jpeg in "picasso" then opened it in "Paint" to adjust the image size, saved it so as to be the correct size to insert it into the A4 page as a "header" at the top of each page. All the other images below this were perfectly fine. Even if i tried to import my 8th, 9th or 10th page i had the same problem with these "header" images i created as mentioned above. If space/memory or size of images would be a problem, please advise? We have a 2 gig ram memory card in our system, a 500gig hardrive... so i dont see why there would be issues with memory. I often get a pop up window during importing these pages saying this " there are not enough scanlines" what are scanlines? Please explain in lament terms i dont understand IT jargen, thanks. And please advise what we can do to avoid this from happening as it always drops off that vital image we need at the top of each page? Also what size is the maximum size allowed for each image in one A4 single page document, especially if i want to make a new document consisting of 10 pages or more? | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | To import more than 10 pages as one document and still being able to have my "header" image visible on each page. | ||||
| Additional Information | Would it be a problem if i have edited my images in photoshop elements, then saved as jpeg (Our "library" being "Picasso") and then inserting these pictures into a new or existing A4 single page scribus document from a specific file on my computer? | ||||

>> We have a 2 gig ram memory card in our system, a 500gig hardrive... so i dont see why there would be issues with memory. 1) The 2Gb of memory are not only used by scribus but also by the system and all running applications 2) Images need to be decompressed (compressed data is unusable) and needs continuous block of memory to be stored. So if you have an image of 400Mo, and some memory is already used at index 300Mo, 600Mo, 900Mo, 1200Mo, 1500Mo and 1800Mo, there won't be any place for a 400Mo block. So in those case even 2Gb won't be sufficient. Same is valid for smaller images, if you use lots of image, at a point there won't be large enough memory block to store your image in memory. Explanation of "there are not enough scanlines" : a scanline is a line of image data. This message is issued when the library we use to load jpeg files encounter an inconsistency between the image width and height it gets from jpeg header and the amount of image data it was able to read. That happens usually in following case : - the jpeg file is corrupted (not that often) - not enough memory could be allocated to store image data (more often) To avoid memory related issues, we always recommend : - to not use unnecessarily large images : a 100Mb image on a A4 pages is already too large, 30Mb is quite sufficient. And remember we always reason in term of uncompressed data. - to split a document into multiple documents if it has lots of images or long text chains. Finally you seem to confuse a bug tracker with a support forum. This is not a support forum at all, but a bug tracker!!!!! That means any issue which has already been submitted or is directly related to a known issue, as yours is, will be closed. Support is available through following means : - traditional forums : http://forums.scribus.net - mailing list : http://lists.scribus.info/mailman/listinfo/scribus - IRC on freenode : #scribus channel |
