[scribus] batch load svg files into scribus

[Meaux Mazey]

Hey Greg!
I got it working. Thanks to your help and a little RTFM I was able to get
my script to load a folder of .svg into my document. Its a bit hard coded
one trick pony at the moment but once I have it a bit more streamlined I
will share.

Thanks again
Meaux
