As mentioned in Chris' testing thread, I'm having issues with Scribus 1.3.8 not recognizing the HOME environment variable. This is the only problem I have, and once it's fixed, I will be able to upload a working copy of Scribus 1.3.8
Please see my attached launcher.ini (appropriately renamed, of course)
Any help would be appreciated. I can give access to the full package if someone needs it.

For the moment, I'd suggest that you just move the directory. Then we can see with the Scribus team what happened with that. Looking through the source code may help, too.
Edit:
Scribus_Trolltech=HKCU\Software\Trolltech? Please don't do that. The only things you should need to worry about in there are the the caches - that's what [QtKeyCleanup] is for - and maybe the CustomColors key. Don't take the whole key at once.Another edit: you can also try setting the XDG environment variables; they may do something - XDG_DATA_HOME and/or XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

That'd be great! Scribus is one of those funny apps that you say to yourself, I'm never really gonna use it, but I've found that I do actually use it every now and again (and very handy it is too!). I think it's a great DTP app and should be a staple in any Portable office toolkit.
