Just like any other program, Scribus can be launched from the command line. Below you find the command line options for Linux/UNIX (including Mac OS X). On other operating systems the parameters may have to be used differently.
An advantage or usage of the command line is that you may get some useful information as feedback in the CLI as Scribus is, for example, checking fonts, and in the unlikely event of a crash.
-f, --file-) you will need to use --, e.g., scribus -- -myfile.sla.-fi, --font-info -h, --help-l, --lang xxxx. The language is specified with the same POSIX language codes that are used in the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables. For example, English can be selected with ‘en’ (generic English), ‘en_GB’ (British English), ‘en_US’ (American english), etc. Similarly, reformed German can be selected with ‘de’ or ‘de_DE’, traditional German with ‘de_1901’, and Swiss German with ‘de_CH’.-la, --langs-availablescribus -l xx where xx is the short language code.-nns, --never-splash~/.scribus.-ns, --no-splash-pi, --profile-info-pr, --prefs filename-sb, --swap-buttons-u, --upgradecheck -v, --version
