<br>
I am a beginner user of Scribus. I used to work with InDesign and would<br>
like to make a change.<br>
I have one specific need : importing multiple (200-400) picture files<br>
(.jpeg, .png, .tif, etc.) automatically into one document.<br>
On InDesign, I use a very simple xml file (with <article> nodes containing<br>
both <text> and <picture> sub-nodes) and a script which imports it and<br>
places the frames where I need them.<br>
I have looked at the xml importing add-ins offered with scribus and can't<br>
find an existing tool for this.<br>
<br>
Now my enquiries :<br>
* Did I overlook something, is it already possible?<br>
* If I didn't, I would be interested in working on a solution, especially<br>
if this is sth others would find useful : so, is it?<br>
* As a new user with very little experiment in development (one has to<br>
start somewhere...), I would need advice and help as to where to look, what<br>
to expect, etc. Apart from this list, is there any other place to ask? (And<br>
is it ok to ask here?)<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any help.<br>
