[Scribus] DPI problem

[Malte Cornils]

Hello. (Issue #1321)

Working on a publication, one of our clients had neglected to check resolution 
for one picture which was grayscale and about 2000x2000px. Exporting to PDF, 
we did not check the "reduce all to xx dpi" box (see below for the "why").

This resulted in a huge page that no longer fit into our printer's memory and 
this problem was quite difficult to find and to fix. 

I'm not sure but I think we could show the dpi in a pop-up help widget when 
mousing over a picture (instead of in the right-click contect menu)?

Anyway, the reason we don't use the "reduce all to xx dpi" stuff is that it 
does not differentiate between gray-scale and line-art graphics.

You normally have line-art graphics with much higher dpi than grayscale/colour 
images.

If differentiating by type proves too difficult, one could also have an 
individual switch for each image ("reduce to .. dpi"), with a sensible 
default and the option to switch all dpi reducing conversion off in the 
export to pdf dialog.

Or am I missing some option or workarounds you normally use in this situation?

Yours
