Summary	0010538: does not use ~/.scribus/scripts
Description	Hi, scribus offers only the scripts in /usr/share/scribus/scripts in the Script/Scribus-Scripts menu. Would be nice, more logical, and more consistent with other apps and the general Linux structure, if scribus would treat /usr/share/scribus and ~/.scribus as similar as possible and list scripts in ~/.scribus/scripts as regular scripts, to allow users to have a set of individual scripts not to be installed in public dirs with admin privs. I realize that it is possible to execute a script in arbitrary locations through Script/Execute Script.. and then have them listed in Recent Scripts, but that's counter-intuitive, non-ergonomic, cumbersome, and violates the genereal idea of a ~/.scribus directory. strace shows that scribus does not even touch or rad a ~/.scribus/scripts. On the other hand, scribus tries to read a ~/.scribus/scripter.rc (and scripter140.rc ) file, which might possibly solve that problem, but I did not find that mentioned in any manual. regards

cbradney 2012-01-25 19:19 administrator ~0027595	Resolving as duplicate. In any case, the Scripts menu are scripts we have installed and have not had the intention of allowing others to be added.
