Summary | 0003219: Add a warning for 1.3 development versions | ||||
Description | In recent press reports on Scribus the software has been treated as if it was a final version. This may damage the reputation of Scribus in the long term since there's still a lot of work going on and some ugly bugs may show up any time -- not to mention the changes in the file format. IMHO it would be useful to show a big fat warning somewhere that people are using development build, not a final version. This could be done on first start or in the splash (as OO.o did with its 1.9x builds). | ||||

I've suggest the different splash screen for "devel" versions before... |
|
Reminder sent to: this would probably spare us some really dumb comments |
|
Uploaded two splashs to be used as templates for a development splash screen ;) |

1. We can add beta to the version - even the 1.3.x releases 2. A different splash 3. (optionally) a really obnoxious dialog after launch* *This is something to defer until we have an idea og how stable we think 1.3.4 release is |
|
Reminder sent to: jghali, I would strongly recommend including this into 1.3.3.2 -- obviously, many Windows users are not aware, they use an unstable Scribus version, I've just received yet another proof of this. |
|
I find the version with the road sign more sympathetic... but the warning itself is clearer in the splash_dev2.png I would merge the 2 versions together for better results. And maybe suggest to keep the look of the type itself a bit more "official". One "!" is OK for me! We also have to keep in mind that this version is the only one, afaik, available for both Mac and Win users... So the warning should not lead someone to believe he/she can't use the program, because we actually want them to use it. Any more thoughts? |
|
Louis, I didn't suggest to use the uploaded splash screens. They only had the purpose two ways one could go ;) As for more detailed information, I think these could go into the first paragraph of the "readme first" file in the docs. In bold. |
|
yet another windows user who didn't realise Scribus 1.3.3.1 isn't stable, see 0003827 |
|
Once upon a time there were some nice splash screens in tangoish colors on the ML, afaik this one http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2005-July/012335.html or something near that... |
