[Scribus] Re: [Sodipodi-list] First sodipodi+scribus doc experience

[Lauris Kaplinski]

Hello!

I cannot help with scribus :-/, but if you'll send me SVG exported
from scribus, I can take a look, whether there are sodipodi problems
I can fix...
As of guides and such - if scribus embeds it's own metainfo into
SVG file, sodi probably can extract and use it. But if it is just
plain export, one cannot expect to preserve all metainfo in it.

Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski
