It might be worth a consideration for Scribus to have the capability of unzipping such a file. It can gzip an .sla file. Perhaps a 2-step process of Collect for Output, then zip. I wonder if a script might be written to do this zipping....
The problem with saving images in .sla files is the size. You might have a multi-MB file for one picture, and some Scribus projects have dozens or hundreds of pictures. Greg
