just a detail: you should not put "#!/usr/bin/env python" at the beginning of your scripts. it's useless (since they are always triggered as `python script-name.py` and gives the false impression that one can run them from the command line. > The script first shows you a list of Master Pages in your document, > each indexed by a number. It asks you to choose by number the MP you > want to assign. > After that, you then get a dialog asking for a list of pages to apply > this MP to.

It would be nice to be able to enter something like 1 5 > 7-10 15, but parsing that 7-10 is more challenging, and besides this > is just a demonstration script. i have not tested it, but this seems to be a very simple way of "exploding" the page numbers :-) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5704931/parse-string-of-integer-sets-with-intervals-to-list > I'd like to figure out how to drop the kludgy ending if I can find > some other way to force a document refresh in Scribus. otherwise a nice sample of what can be done with the new commands! thanks. a.l.e
