| Summary | 0013406: Paragraph Styles are not being imported from RTF files | ||||
| Description | The new RTF filter doesn't import paragraph styles, in spite of RTF supporting and storing them ("s1" etc.). Ideally, RTF import should behave exactly like ODT import, i.e., prompt the style import dialogue. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Patch | No | ||||
|
|
There are two issues remaining: 1) Special characters in style names like umlauts are being ignored, e.g. "Überschrift" becomes "berschrift". 2) The importer works different than the ODT importer. The latter triggers a dialog on how to handle the style names, the RTF importer doesn't. |
|
|
More troubles with RTF style sheets: Scribus handles RTF style sheets much less reliable than,e.g., AbiWord, LibreOffice or Calligra. See the attached documents (ODT and RTF). |

Fixed the import of the attached document, interestingly LibreOffice can't import its own rtf correctly. |
|
|
Franz, the import is still incorrect. 1) Bold and italics are being ignored, whereas the ODT importer works as expected. 2) Fonts are wrong for the styles "Textkörper", "Textkörper Einrückung" and "Fußnote". 3) The style import dialogue still doesn't show up, so existing styles may be overwritten by accident. |
|
|
Its unlikely that you overwrite styles, the imported style name ist prefixed with the name of the textframe you import into. |
|
|
Is this still open or is it fixed ? |

Created issues 0013636 to address Christoph's "2" issue |

Franz, appending the name of the frame automatically is the wrong approach. Just imagine a user of wordPerfect (which, to my knowledge, doesn't provide ODT export). So he has to use RTF. To make his life easier, he splits a long document into chapters, each one saved as an RTF file. Now the import begins, and for each frame or a chain of frames, a new style is being created. If the need arises to change typographical settings, the user has to adjust every style, which somehow defies the use of styles. With ODT, we have (or used to have) the choice to merge paragraph styles upon import. Why do you think it's necessary to withhold this option from users and make style management harder? |
|
|
Franz committed a fix for this in r20671 "...Now you can choose if the imported styles are prepended with the item name." Testing needed to test fix |
|
|
Thanks for the fix, Franz! It's a relief for now, and I'd say we leave it it that for the 1.5.1 release, but I'll open another bug report regarding the re-introduction of the style import options. |
