Description | Alerta de Bug Crítico: Malha de Distorção Não Pode Ser Editada Olá a todos! Gostaria de partilhar uma experiência importante que tive ao tentar migrar projetos do Scribus do 1.6.1 para 1.6.4. O resultado é um alerta crucial para quem usa a Malha de Distorção (MeshDistort) no Ubuntu, que é essencial para o meu trabalho, não se apresenta na latest version. Confirmei que a minha instalação Scribus 1.6.1 (instalada via APT) funciona perfeitamente, permitindo a criação e edição da malha no menu item/ferramenta de caminho/distorção de malha, depois que instalei a versão 1.6.4, não se apresenta mais o plugin mashditorct no menu ITEM embora os efeitos gerados nos arquivos da versão anterior tenham se mantidos intactos e sem defeitos, somente não consegui editá-los. Mantive a versão 1.6.1 instalada via APT, e a nova (1.6.4) coloquei via FlatPack para poder usar o recurso. Critical Bug Alert: Mesh distortion cannot be edited Hello everyone! I would like to share an important experience I had when trying to migrate Scribus projects from 1.6.1 to 1.6.4. The result is a crucial alert for anyone who uses Mesh distortion (MeshDistort) on Ubuntu, which is essential for my work, but is not available in the latest version. I confirmed that my Scribus 1.6.1 installation (installed via APT) works perfectly, allowing the creation and editing of the mesh in the item/path tool/mesh distortion menu, but after installing version 1.6.4, the Mesh distortion plugin no longer appears in the ITEM menu although the effects generated in the previous version files have remained intact and without defects, I just couldn't edit them. I kept version 1.6.1 installed via APT, and installed the new version (1.6.4) via FlatPack so I could use the feature. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Try to open and use the menu/Item/Path Tool/Mesh Distortion tool in version 1.6.4 of Scribus installed via FLATPACK. | ||||

In order to have the Mesh Distortion plugin, Scribus seems to need to be compiled while Boost is around. Can you please check that your Scribus' About dialog has Boost listed under the libraries in the "Build Information"? If it's not the case, you will need to go and ask the people creating the Flatpak to add it. À propos, the Appimage from the CI does not have it either, but libboost-dev should be installed. Any idea what I'm missing? (https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus-ci-docker/-/blob/main/Dockerfile?ref_type=heads) |

Mesh Distortion Working on 1.6.1, and Boost is also MISSING there! Thank you again for your help. I have a critical update that changes our analysis: I checked the Scribus 1.6.1 (APT) build information (the version where the Mesh Distortion editing is fully functional). Boost is ALSO NOT LISTED in the compiled libraries for Scribus 1.6.1. Conclusion: Boost is not the missing dependency for the Mesh Distortion plugin to work. The plugin works perfectly in 1.6.1 without Boost listed. The problem is unique to the 1.6.4 Flatpak: It seems to be missing a different, unknown dependency, or the plugin itself is simply failing to load/register its editing interface in the containerized Flatpak environment. The issue must be either a packaging error in the Flatpak build or a new bug in 1.6.4 that prevents the plugin from registering its UI element. I am keeping 1.6.1 for now. Could this indicate a problem with the way the Flatpak handles dependencies that are dynamically linked via the system's APT packages (which are accessible to the 1.6.1 version)? |
