http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Automatic_import_of_images:_Versions_not_requiring_Tkinter What I was trying to do was to deal with the chore of individually loading a large number of photos into a Scribus document. The idea was to identify a directory full of images, after which the script creates pages with a particular layout and loads the images in alphabetical order according to the file name. I have made options to simply cram as many photos as possible on a page, and others with a staggered layout so that text frames could be inserted for various descriptions and annotations. The relative dimensions were according the the first digital camera I had, so when I upgraded my camera I needed to alter those parameters. The scripts are mainly meant as a starting point for the idea to show how it can be done, and leave plenty of room for customization by others. Greg
