Well... it seems we misunderstood each other... I'm not asking for it to be available now... I'm pretty aware of how free software works as I'm myself a (small level) contributor.
What made me react maybe "brutally" is I asked "is this possible" and you answered "you don't need it" (basically). So the only thing I could answer to that is: yes, I need it and this is why I think it's useful. So let's go back to the original subject ;-) Question 1: I'm thinking of something like configurable templates where the users could adjust some measurements. It would be more efficient if the user was presented these measures in its favorite unit... isn't it? Is there a way to currently achieve this? Question 2: I'd like to allow users to import swatches through SwatchBooker. Many spot colors are defined in the Lab color space, which isn't available in Scribus (yet). So I need to convert them to RGB or CMYK. Since Scribus supports color management, it would be stupid not to take that in account when converting... Is this currently in the field of possible things through the scripter?
