Warning/Error	Companion Text	Vetted by Scribus Dev	Added to Master
Image has Transparencies	This warning indicates that your document contains images that have a transparent layer. This is really only an issue if using older printing profiles. It is safe to ignore this when using modern printing methods, or exporting to PDF version greater than 1.4.	not yet
Image is GIF	This warning alerts you that you are using a bitmap based graphic format (.gif is one of those) which will most likely result in poor viewing quality (for example: when commercially printed, viewed on a high-resolution screens, etc...). If your PDF will be printed commercially, there are some printing systems that will have difficulty printing these types of images.	not yet
Image Resolution below X DPI	This is a user definable setting serving as a caution for low resolution images.	not yet
Empty Image Frame	If you have created an image frame, there is the presumption that you planned to put an image in it.	not yet
Text Overflow	There is more text than can show in the frame as sized. Nonvisible excess characters like spaces and carriage returns may trigger this if nothing appears to be missing.	not yet

Add this to table above

        missingGlyph = tr("Glyphs missing");
        textOverflow = tr("Text overflow");
        notOnPage = tr("Object is not on a Page");
        missingImg = tr("Missing Image");
        emptyImg = tr("Empty Image Frame");
        emptyTextFrame = tr("Empty Text Frame");
        lowDPI = tr("Image resolution below %1 DPI,\ncurrently %2 x %3 DPI");
        highDPI = tr("Image resolution above %1 DPI,\ncurrently %2 x %3 DPI");
        transpar = tr("Object has transparency");
        annot = tr("Object is a PDF Annotation or Field");
        rasterPDF = tr("Object is a placed PDF");
        isGIF = tr("Image is GIF");
        WrongFont = tr("Annotation uses a non TrueType font");
        partFilledImageFrame = tr("Image dimension is smaller than its frame");
        notCMYKOrSpot = tr("Object colorspace is not CMYK or spot");
        fontNotEmbedded =  tr("Imported document contains non embedded fonts");
        //isGIFtoolTip = "<qt>" + tr("GIF images are not recommended for print. See the online docs for more info") + "</qt>";
        appliedMasterDifferentSide = tr("Applied master page has different page destination (left, middle, right side)");
}

For the Preflight-Checker Preferences

So it may also be a good idea to have more verbose text in a pop-up next to each Preflight Check Preference menu item. A good example that could be utilized for pop up text would be here: http://fossies.org/linux/misc/scribus-1.4.3.tar.gz/scribus-1.4.3/scribus-1.4.3/scribus/doc/en/print2.html
