On the other hand, one can create scripts that work on a pre-existing document. One of the questions you might want to ask yourself is whether you want to do this with a script anyway. The python code for generically doing what you suggest would take some time to do. Better and easier might be to save objects from a particular document into the Scrapbook, then saving the Scrapbook as a file, which could then be loaded into a document. Different documents could have different Scrapbook files. In essence, you are saving Scribus objects, and as such they would have a particular position, size, etc., that would be saved with them and applied when they were loaded. > Another thing: do you know a way to convert .eps files to .sla without > opening Scribus? > We're still waiting for the capability of using scribus on the command line, perhaps for this, but certainly many other tasks.
