[scribus] Insert image as header into Scribus page

[Roger]

    I have the same images for header and sub headers saved as .tiff and .jpg
      From <help><scripter API><Setting Object Properties>
     loadImage(...)
     loadImage("filename" [, "name"])
     I have /setpage.py starting with Craig's address .py script as an example to
     learn from:
     selectfile = scribus.fileDialog("Select Your Image File/s", "*.*")
     file = open(selectfile, 'r')
     # newDocument(size, margins(lrtb), orientation, firstPageNumber, unit,
     pagesType, firstPageOrder, numPages) -> bool
     # newDocument(PAPER_A4, (10, 10, 20, 20), LANDSCAPE, 7, UNIT_POINTS, 
PAGE_4, 0, 1)
     if
 
scribus.newDocument(scribus.PAPER_A4,(15,12,15,15),scribus.LANDSCAPE,1,scribus.UNIT_POINTS,scribus.PAGE_1,0,1):
     	scribus.gotoPage(1)
     	scribus.loadImage(file,["header"])
     # where "header" is the name of the image box at the top of the page.

- Ignored:

     I get error message:
     Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<string>", line 8, in <module>
        File "/home/roger/Scribus/scripts/setpage.py", line 59, in <module>
          scribus.loadImage(file,["header"])
     TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, file found

     --What am I doing wrong and how to fix please
     TIA
     Roger



- Done.
