| Summary | 0012883: Missing image file sometimes blocks PDF export | ||||
| Description | Most of the time, a missing image file doesnt block the PDF export, but it sometime does and an error message is issued. After a couple attempts, it goes OK without having to change anything in the file. | ||||
| Additional Information | I'm not sure of the exact serie of action, since sometimes its ok, sometime its not. Issue arose as i had collected_for_output and then renamed the 'images' folder into "images_ok" so as to create a lightweight PDF without images. | ||||

jluc, can you still recreate this ? |

There is a connection to 0013993 and this ticket. It seems that there are some use-cases where collect for output doesn't behave because of how it's designed. Do we need the user to conform to us on this or vice-a-versa ? |

It could be related to the usual display refresh of images. Every 30, 60 seconds or so, scribus looks whether the image has changed and upades its screen display. When renaming the 'image' folder to 'image.bak', it could be that - as long as scribus has not looked for the image so as to refresh the display, it believes it exists, and Exporting to PDF is not so smart and blocks beacuse it expects an existing image, which dont exist, and stops on that error. - once scribus has looked for the image so as to refresh the display, it knows that the image doesnt exist anymore, and exporting to PDF doesnt try to access it. Leading to a successfull image-free PDF. |
