Warning/Error	Companion Text	Vetted by Scribus Dev
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
