hi big,
> You're right : I'm trying to make a script to automate the making of a > catalog. somehow i have the feeling that you're not going for the easiest way... your trials with the scripts look like you're staying very close to what you would be doing with the mouse... but you might have an easier life if you would think more like a programmer, here. the scripter shipped with scribus 1.4 is not perfect for creating a catalog, but with a bit of luck (and creativity) you should be able to get it to work. other people have already done it, afaik. i still don't know much about the details of your project, but i have the feeling that you should better define what you want to achieve... have a nice day a.l.e
