    • A way to place PDF and EPS files containing mixed type, vector, and raster graphics such that they're not output rasterised to PDF or PS.

Optional Extras

    • KDE/WebDAV integration

    • Scanner support Aquire from scanner, like in gimp
    • Digikam support
    • Dynamic Templates
    • Using Scribus objects via Scripter (like ScribusView.ActualPage.Item[1].SetText('bah')) => need to study python docs hard ;) (sip? )


    • Automatically select smallest printer-supported ISO (or US, where LC_PAPER is en_US) paper size that job will fit on when printing.
