[Scale-planning] Coder help with Design/Graphics

Mon Feb 13 21:04:17 UTC 2017

I'll try that out, but please remember the danger of using trunk. The
version of scribus-trunk I install today may be able to read your
file, but what it saves may not be readable by the version of
scribus-trunk you installed last week. When you run into this problem
and upgrade tomorrow, that version of scribus-trunk may create files
that my install from today cannot read, and so on.
