[scribus] collecting for output

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Hi,

you are right. Just tested it, never used it before. The .sla keeps 655, 
but pictures and/or fonts get 600.

Furthermore: Scribus itself sets its file pointer to this new directory. 
That is confusing. I would expect this to act like an export function.

When I check "compress", I get a .gz file which is not unpackable by 
unzip, the pictures have disappeared from it. But it has 655. Fonts are 
not packed into it but delivered separately, they have 600.

Another confusing thing is that the directory has to exist before, the 
function cannot make it.

Anyway, this is a Suse 12.1 with Scribus 1.4.2, so it is reproduceable 
even on an older system, and to me it is kinda "not thought up to its end".

If you use it this way, I would not use the compress option but include 
e. g. the fonts. And a script to change the files to 655 BEFORE they are 
handed on (because at that time, they still belong to the person who 
worked on them) should be the best workaround to cope with it.

Regards

Rolf
