... if i recall it correctly you were at the last year's scribus
meeting where i showed this pretty unknown dialog :-)

but i just noticed that it's called "insert > frame"...

and, yes, it inserts multiple new elements, but i have always dreamed
of enhancing it and letting it inherit properties (and why
not content?) from the item currently selected.

and yes (2): it would be a good idea to rename this dialog, most of all
if in the future (as we both hope?) will also allow to duplicate an
item!

ciao
