Do you happen to know what is needed on our side to support Fcitx5? Is it https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/fcitx5-frontend-qt6 ? If you (or somebody else) wants to help, here is the Docker image we're using for creating the nightlly Appimage: https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus-ci-docker You can use it to locally create an Appimage and test it on your computer... I can provide instructions for doing it. |

Yeah I am using Scribus AppImage Nightly 1.7.0,and I am very sure that I have installed the fcitx5-frontend and I can use Fcitx5 at Dolphin/KDE Settings and other Qt6 apps.But cannot using it on Scribus AppImage. |
|
|
I remember that Scribus written by Qt5? So maybe there is need: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/fcitx5-frontend-qt5 |
|
|
Scribus 1.7.x requires minimum Qt 6.4.0 better a newer version. See here: https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/1.7.0_Release (at bottom) |
|
|
Since then,maybe the AppImage needs: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/fcitx5-frontend-qt6 |
|
|
As a next step, here are tickets for Krita, Inkscape, and FreeCAD: - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422465 - https://github.com/freecad/freecad/issues/24391 - https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/2218 I will check if they can be solved for our nightly Appimage by tweaking the Docker image. |

Wow nice!Thanks for your hard work� |
|
|
So if the fcitx5-frontend has added to the AppImage ? |
|
|
I'm going to look into into it, but since I cannot really test if it works or not, it's not really high on my priorities. If you have the skills to compile Scribus or know somebody who is using the fcitx5 frontend and can do that, I can give you instructions on how to create yourself an Appimage that you can test and give me then a feedback, what is the minimal change needed to get it to work. |
