Re: scribus Digest, Vol 156, Issue 1

Thank you for this response.

Question about HELP:

  *    specifically about Community Help;

I find the procedure very unfriendly;
I tried to subscribe and never quite completed the process, I think.

Is there a simpler way to connect with the community, like a link or a forum
or something less machine-like (reminds me the early eighties...)

Thanks in advance...

Andre

Subject: [scribus] getAllText Sometimes Failing
Message-ID: <bfb8e30b-8e20-4932-8249-39a4e88b4cf6-jFIJ+Wc5/Vo7lZ9V/[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I've attached a test case that seems to show that getAllText() is sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. When it fails it doesn't throw an error, but it just retrieves a string of length 1, instead of retrieving the actual text of the chain. I see this on 1.5.6.1 and 1.5.7.svn, in both Linux and Windows.

To run the test open the .sla and from the script menu execute chapter_heading_style.py.  The text frame name "debug" at the very top will contain the word "Error" if the getAllText() call in the script fails.  What I see is that it works fine the first time, then it fails on every subsequent try, until I alter something on the document.  For example, if I grab and move the "debug" text frame a bit then getAllText() will succeed once, and then fail repeatedly again.  Saving and reopening the document also causes the script to work again the first time.

Thanks.
