[scribus] Scripting expert needed to speed up colour palette conversion

[José Antonio Rocha]

Unbelievably easy:

clrs = getColorNames()
newname = ""
for clr in clrs:
    if clr.find("FromPDF") == 0:
        cmyk = getColor(clr)
        c = cmyk[0]
        cd = cmyk[0]*100/255
        ca = "c"+str(cd)
        m = cmyk[1]
        md = cmyk[1]*100/255
        ma = "m"+str(md)
        y = cmyk[2]
        yd = cmyk[2]*100/255
        ya = "y"+str(yd)
        k = cmyk[3]
        kd = cmyk[3]*100/255
        ka = "k"+str(kd)
        newname = ca+ma+ya+ka
        defineColor(newname,c,m,y,k)
        replaceColor(clr,newname)
        deleteColor(clr,newname)

> In a Scribus XML palette file, the converted colour entry looks like this:
>
> <COLOR NAME="FromPDF#00404040" CMYK="#00404040"/>

> What is needed is a script that strips the string FromPDF and converts the
> hex value in a specific way (adding ink channel abbreviations and slashes),
> so that the end result looks like this:

> <COLOR NAME="C25/M25/Y25/K25" CMYK="#40404040"/>

> Anyone willing to step in?
