> WARNING: it takes order of pages the same as ls is returning. But
> Scribus is creating filenames in natural order like:
> 
>     filename-page1.png, filename-page2.png .. filename-page10.png
> 
> You obviously see where is danger: listing will be in "computer" order
> - like: 1, 10, 11, 12, ..., 2, 21, etc. To avoid problems you should
> fill numbers with 0 (01, 02, 03, etc.). IMO it would be good thing if
> Scribus would do that by itself, it would help in all situations where
> proper order of listing is important.

> This is simple imposition targeted toward simply home jobs to fit in
> A4/A3 printer, without crop/fold/register marks. If someone would be
> interested in getting those features I will expand it. Note: bleed space
> will be never supported due to nature of image export from Scribus :)

> Enjoy!

P.S. Please all future script authors: use the Scribus Wiki /
Scripts&Plugins category to add such stuff, otherwise it's rather
unlikely that your work will be found in a month or two.
