Scripter/Images

I decided to beef up this page a bit, since we get a number of questions about whether a script can be written for some task or other, and one quickly realizes that it takes some time to find all the scripts that deal with such a task. What people really need is a quick survey of what's out there, so that they can either modify some existing script themselves, or be able to ask for help with the modification for their particular needs.

I'll try to start with simple scripts first, then go to more complicated or perhaps esoteric ones down the page.

Swap Images
This is just a simple utility to switch the images in 2 selected frames. If you work a lot with images, utilities like this can be timesavers. Note that the images don't have to be on the same page, just click the first, Shift-click the second, then run the script.

This is undo-able, but you will need to click Undo twice, since there are two separate operations in the script.

Image crop, resize and CMYK conversion. Save and reload in TIFF format
I've not used this script, though it does generally seem to be a useful thing. The one thing I would question is whether the colorspace conversion is necessary, since we mostly recommend that users let Scribus do the colorspace conversion to CMYK.
