I want the maximum resolution. Also, it would be a lot of work (there 
are many images).

It has always failed for me. These are the same images I filed bug 
reports on a while back.

In any case, you see the error messages, and Scribus does crash, so 
there is something wrong. IMHO, an application like Scribus should 
never crash, regardless of the conditions or input, without some 
diagnostic message to the user, prefereably a useful one.
