yes. if you can create thumbnails with the same name but in another folder you can then just rename the folder and get the pictures at the right resolution when you will print them (in that case i would scale them much more than to the half... max 10%). this will best work if you let scribus automatically scale the pictures to the frames. if not, you will have to take care to correctly define the resolution of the picture, in order to have them correctly scaled and -- eventually -- placed in the frame. finally, iirc, somebody has contributed a caching system for images. no idea if and on which version it has been applied. but if it is in the version of scribus you are using, in the future the file will load much faster... you can try it out... ciao a.l.e
