I installed the Flatpak of Scribus 1.6.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. I am facing some issues to insert JPEG images into the document. Only PNG images are working by default. In the ‘Open’ window, under the ‘Files of type’ option, there is the ‘All supported formats’ option, followed by 11 selectable but ‘blank’ lines, ending with ‘All files.’ When ‘All files’ is selected, the JPEG files appear in the list, but the JPEG images do not show up in the Preview. The AppImage of this same version is working just fine.
