sla file and / or the images it uses while working on your documents. but you should be careful when you move around. It's very likely that the issue on your side is: lack of memory space (most likely RAM, less likely disk space).Ĭoncerning the lost paths: no it's not normal. pdf and will share the link with you later.

It also took its time - a few minutes - but the result seems ok.

I got the full project and i could open it. It's all done except for a final look over by the head of the non-profit before I design the spine and covers. I'm about to throw in the towel and just tell the non-profit that this isn't happening. I get Scribus constantly saying access violations and shutting out, not displaying correctly, and it used to export to PDF just fine, now it will export a few pages and then fail no matter the format I choose- PDF, jpeg, etc. I'm assuming since I'm a new user it has to be something I'm doing wrong on my end, but aside a couple photos being low dpi, there I literally no errors listed. I've been working on it this on my own time and expense for a non-profit close to my heart for months and it just feels like the Scribus universe is working against me at every turn. Is that normal for the program to just forget paths? I haven't moved files, etc and the program all of sudden can't find a photo that it no problems with previously that wasnt moved or edited. Or, is there another program anywhere (I havent found anything) that can convert Scribus files? I even bought a new computer and I am still having the same issues. I am doing this project on my own time and dime for a nonprofit dear to my heart and we were hopping to wrap this up by next week, but Scribus is really giving me a hard time and I don't get what I am doing wrong especially when everything used to work. I really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I am by no means a tech guru or know programmer, I am on the art side of the computer world, if you'd be so kind to not lay heavy on the technobabble so I can understand, it would be appreciated. I am running Windows 8.1 (Hoping to order a new computer this week barring another crisis). What I have done to try to fix the problem- went page by page to ensure no errors, virus scan, uninstalled and reinstalled Scribus, uninstalled and reinstalled Ghost Script, I even reinstalled Windows back to factory settings-clean copy.

Pictures where the path was fine then say its a broken path until I shut Scribus down and reopen it. Sometimes it wont even do a page and crashes. I can save in maybe 3-20 page chunks, but to do the whole file- nope. Now, no matter what file format I try to export to, Scribus cashes- PDF, SVG, even saving as an image. I didn't have so many problems until the last Scribus update. I really don't know what I am doing wrong.
