Workaround: Command key + n to open a new SLA. Then immediately close it. Now Preferences and other menus will be available again. |
|
after having added a path, you have to quit scribus and relaunch it... since you are adding a path, you will probably want to use the fonts in that path... and the fonts are only scanned on scribus start... or not? |
|
If the user doesn't choose restart, don't grey out the scribus UI functionality. Besides, I think Scribus should let the user know that a Scribus restart is need. "Yo Dawg, just noticed you added a new path. Ya gotta restart for that to officially happen. Peace" |
|
a label saying that and a button "Restart Scribus" would be good there. |
|
There is no need to restart Scribus after adding a font directory. I cannot reproduce this consistently, and I am not sure if you might be able to get other operations in Prefs to do the same, as I do not know why it might be related to fonts. |
|
Still unable to reproduce |
