Excellent import features get you started by helping you utilise the content you already have. So, for instance, the program can import PDF documents, OpenOffice Draw, EPS, SVG, PSD and other files.

You can then work on your project, adding frames and tables, inserting images, using vector drawing tools or exploring the many font effects. Colour control includes CMYK and RGB support, spot colours, and ICC colour management.

  1. Scribus Portable is packaged in the PortableApps.com Format, so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com platform.

  2. Scribus Portable lets you run the application on any portable device that can store files without having to install it on your computer. If you usually use different computers throughout the day, Scribus Portable saves you the hassle of having to install the program on every single one.

And when you're finished, your document can be saved as a PDF, EPS or SVG file, as an image, and more.

Scribus takes a different approach to some of the other desktop publishing packages around, so you shouldn't expect to be productive with the program right away: it'll take time before you've learned the basics and feel at home. There is plenty of documentation available, though, so be sure to visit the support site if you need any help.

Note that this is the portable version of Scribus.

Scribus 1.5.4 Portable

Verdict:

Complex, and with a few quirks, but full of interesting and powerful publishing features

The AppID of Scribus is ScribusPortable,and so the launcher executable is named ScribusPortable.exe and thelauncher configuration file is inAppAppInfoLauncherScribusPortable.ini.

The main Scribus executable to be launched is Scribus.exe, and it lives inAppScribus. Thus the ProgramExecutable will beScribusScribus.exe.

With a little bit of guesswork and/or looking around, it can be seen thatScribus stores its settings in the filesystem, in the path specified by theenvironment variable HOME if it is found. This is a “safe” environmentvariable to set, and so there will be an [Environment] pairHOME=%PAL:DataDir% to get it to store its settings in the Data directory.

In this directory another directory is created, .scribus, and in that afile scribus13.rc which contains the Scribus settings. Among various othersettings, an MRU (Most Recently Used) file list is maintained, which (I think)can store paths with a backslash separator and a forward slash separator – sothere may be paths in like X:Documents... and X:/Documents/.... Toupdate the drive letter in this file is the work of two[FileWriteN] sections (one to do each slash style).

One last thing: Ghostscript is required, and will be included in theAppGhostscript directory. For Scribus to be able to detect this, it willneed to be added with an [Environment] pair.

From the information above, here is a fully functional sample launcher file,configured correctly for Scribus Portable:

To outline what this actually does: it inserts the AppGhostscript directoryinto the start of the environment variable PATH, sets the environment variableHOME to the Data directory, updates drive letters inData.scribusscribus13.rc, then runs AppScribusScribus.exe. Withoutwaiting for it (this is because there is nothing which needs tidying upafterwards), the launcher quits.

If Scribus were to change so that any cleanup was needed afterwards, the[Launch]:WaitForProgram line would need to be removed.
