If you are a Designer user and want to test the Scribus importer, you can test the importer and report bugs. If you have some complex Designer files and don't want to test yourself, you can export them to XML and upload the results to: http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=11804

Insync can help with Google Drive files.

I read a good article from linux jurnal website.

This is about Insync software and Google Drive.

So I try it and is very good to have it in your linux distro.

The Insync software let you to have files from google drive on your linux , sync and make conversion from Google Docs format to LibreOffice.

You have also one tray icon , something like Dropbox with a nice menu.

The application from Insync comes for Fedora , Ubuntu and Debian.

First windows of instalation is very intuitive...see

... will ask you to accept some things...

First you will have 15 days of trial and after that the price will start from 9,99 $.

The menu of tray icon cam be show with right click and this allow you to make all changes.

Is a great tool but if you sum all prices from all applications and google plans ( $4.99/month for 100Gb) will see this will take some money from you.

Marketing or dodge trade...?

The last years will come with many features for consumers.

The website reginele.ro come with this "dodge trade"

I told myself :"Maybe is an error".

Not realy. The marketing is make to distort the consumer.

Why? If you create an account on MailDirect then will have receive 0.5 ¢ and 1 ¢ / mail (you need 100$ to cash the money).

The big error is : most of the offers are exaggerated ...

Honestly, you should review the marketing policy.

I'm sure most users of Linux operating systems are wise enough to avoid such problems.

The big question is: if we are adept of open source infos ...then why not we have the same expressions in trades ?

Sorry about this post . Regards.
