if i click on print preview and there are errors in my document for pdf1.3 for example (transparency), then i get an error message saying that there are errors that i should correct using the print preview.

see my screenshot. there could be a third button "open prepress checker".

jo-hannes: this seems to be obsolete for scribus 1.3.3.1, since the preflight verifier will be opened by default on launching print preview, if errors are detected -- I've just checked it.

Please confirm and close, if you agree

i have 1.3.3.1 here on windows and just tested it.

create a new doc, text frame, insert sample text, file, print preview. i get the a dialog as in the screenshot 2.png.

there we need a button "open prepress checker" just for usability reasons. what does it help if i know that there are errors but dont know which?

jo-hannes: mentioning that you've meant windows, would spare all of us some time -- see the screen shot I've just made with 1.3.3.1 on linux

who knows that someone separated that parts of code for windows and linux...but though youre right, i will note that in the future.

got the preflight verifier here before print preview (see preflight_win.png). maybe a matter of prefs?

what pref?

i just nuked my pref file for 1.3.3.1, still same behaviour

jo-hannes: Preferences/Preflight Verifier: please uncheck the checkbox "Ignore all errors" and things will work as expected

BTW: naming this checkbox "ignore all errors" was probably not the best idea, it may cause some confusion. "Don't show Preflight Verifier on errors" or sth like that would be more obvious.

resolving this one, since it really is a matter of prefs, as suggested by jghali.

jo-hannes: since you, being an long term Scribus user, was confused about the Preflight Verifier prefs, it can be seen as an usability issue which can be submitted as a separate bug.

i requested a button in that dialog to open prepress checker. especially if "ignore errors" is activated, such a button would be helpful. Otherwise even this dialog im talking of should not be there if "ignore errors" is checked.

i dont see why there is no change required...its though a usability issue that is not connected with the preference "ignore errors" imo

ok, i think, I've finally got, what you want. Agreed.

I'm closing this as wontfix.

I think this is a low percentage use case. If someone disables the preflight, then errors will be visible in the print preview, especially now there is better zooming.

If one sees errors, then one logically should run the preflighter from the main window and its not hidden at all.
