News about Scribus : VIVA Designer XML importer available .

Now the Scribus application import filter for VIVA Designer XML files

Hi all,

Yesterday Franz submitted a first version of an import filter for XML versions of VIVA Designer documents. 

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 

Happy testing! Christoph
