</span>Nice.<br>

Would it be possible to make this script add picture infos in a text frame<br>
attached to the image, including filename?<br>
<br>
That would be really useful when you must decide which pic can make it into<br>
a publication based on tech specs such as<br>
- filename<br>
- x-y resolution<br>
- x-y size at 4 resolutions (user definable) : 72-96-225-300 dpi<br>
- total area expressed in square inches and square centimeters for each 4<br>
resolutions<br>
- image type<br>
- color space<br>
- bit depth<br>
- weight of image<br>
- more...<br>
<br>
The script could give the people working on a project a very rapid overview<br>
of the quality of the images they intend to use, technically wise.<br>
<br>
This could be ideally sorted by a user definable field, depending on what<br>
suits better the needs for screening out pics.<br>
<br>
For instance, displaying the pics sorted by “Total area at 300 dpi” would<br>
allow to immediately flag images that are suitable or not for a given need.<br>
<br>
Displaying them in order of “image type” would allow to flag at a glance if<br>
some GIFs made it into the image folder, or some other unsuitable image<br>
type, etc.<br>
<br>
Another approach would be to have the pics imported by their name in<br>
alphabetical order as a visual reference and from that file an export to<br>
csv would allow all sorts of reports to be produced in a breeze. Finding<br>
the images that don’t suit the needs would be easy for the users.<br>
<br>
Transmitting this valuable info to the various people working on a project<br>
would then be a breeze. Export to PDF and a Calc sheet and voilà.<br>
<br>
No more discussions about the usability of an image at a desired size.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Louis,</div><div>Good place to continue this conversation is on their idea page: </div><div><a href="https://github.com/outilslibresalternatifs/scribus-scripts/issues/4">https://github.com/outilslibresalternatifs/scribus-scripts/issues/4</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>/Kunda</div></div></div></div>
