Encountering a critical bug in a confidential project

This may be subject to occuring. In this case there is an option that the Scribus community has set up a few options:

Option #1 Submit the bug report as Private status in the Mantis Bugtracker

Only the core devs will see the issue.

Figure 1: Scribus MantisBT Bug Report form attachment function

Option #2 Use Scrambling Script

A Python script called Scrambing Text (written by Greg Pittman) can be run on the Scribus .sla file and obfuscate any text (not the pictures...Yet).

Requirements

  • Scribus version >=1.4.x (?)
  • Greg Pittman's Scrambling Text Scribus python script

Important Note

  • Backup the .sla file before executing script
  • The script may wipe out the bug so you will need to confirm the bug is still there after the contents of the .sla have been 'scrambled'.
  • The script currently does not work 'in one fell swoop', instead one need to run it individually on each page...one page at a time.
