salut pygmee

indeed, with a good workflow one should not really need a scribus to 
epub export... still, i hope that my plugin will be of use for some 
people! :-)

the first bits for the image processing are in... but they don't 
compile, yet.

with a bit of luck, you will be able to test a "usable" epub export from 
scribus by the end of the week!

> most commonly, PDF to Epub conversion is one of the most difficult that can be done. Personnally my workflow includes a textprocessing file with all text and pictures to be imported into scribus and to be exported separately with writer2epub. Both scribusPDF and epub will then have a different layout. But this way, the conversion to epub is quite good.
