Re: Print as/Save as/Export : monochrome TIF
Depends on the uses. As the production of PDF from tiff is easier or has been considered for longer than with other image formats, I still prefer it as an intermediate file format. As regards long-time storage of photos, without compression, tiff is the closest to most of the proprietary raw-format...

Re: Editing Services
Yes, a good editor should be able to adjust to the editorial style required by the client. In my experience, the "big three" in the United States are the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS), the Associated Press (AP) style book, and the APA style book. True. But that's not the issue here. The ...

Re: Editing Services
LibreOffice is a train wreck that got hit by a plane crash and is rolling downhill towards a daycare center at noon play. I agree, their UI is awful and their MS Office compatibility mediocre. Even on a machine with 20 physical core and 120 physical GB of RAM I could barely edit this book . For the...

Re: Editing Services
I don't let anyone open/edit my TextMaker document file with an MS product. MS has a deliberate habit of trashing files that weren't created with their tools. I had to stop using LibreOffice because no two versions of LibreOffice could edit the same file without completely trashing it. The heroic e...

You could just write a bash script to convet it from pdf to tiff then delete the pdf via poppler, imagemagik or something like that...
To be honest, the golden years of tiff are long gone, there is no real value from using the format now days.

Re: apt upgrade - primary key - no binding signature
There are two things there: First you have an issue with the Sublime Text repository. (Lines 2 to 8 ) Second, the Softmaker repo, if you read, states that the SHA1 is not considered secure since... 2026 ... This means is a Trixie issue. Things that happen when you use Debian Testing or Sid. When one...

Re: Textmaker doesn't switch to italic font for Cyrillic texts
This is not a FreeOffice issue but a Font issue. You are assuming that FreeOffice is aware of you having MS Office installed in a wine bottle and it is reading/indexing fonts from there, this is not the case. If you want to use Times New Roman on non-wine envirolments then you must install/copy the ...

Re: Changing localization in PlanMaker
To change/select localization of templates: Go to: File => New => More => Available Languages => Select Languages needed. This will enable the default Planmaker templates for that given language. Then simply select the template on the language you need. You can also pin the templates so you can acce...

Re: Printing Issues Remain
If printing from a PDF still gives you issues this means one thing: The problem is not TextMaker. I would suggest you to talk to the folks at fedora or check if there is another driver for your printer.

Re: Customer support is working?
Traditionally this is how it works: You set scaling in KDE. KDE, itself, does not do scaling, what it does is it goes and set the scaling for QT and GTK apps. And then consider each toolkit has its way of doing scaling. GTK, for instance, until very recently, was unable to do fractional scaling. QT ...

Re: Customer support is working?
Because all the applications do you mention use Qt (Kate, Telegram) or GTK (Firefox, darktable). Softmaker Office do not use one of those toolkits, and even so, GTK is famous for being awful at stalling. Only recently they addressed some of the shortcomings of their scaling method. For the window po...

Re: Customer support is working?
About #1: There isn't any linux applications that scale as you want them too. No application is truly 4k aware. You may ask yourself: Why does KDE Apps remember if they are 4k or not? Because KDE saves a file that says foy screen X, morel Y do Z. If you here to connect a different screen that is not...
