I've missed that feature sometime and add to mass edit the SLA XML.

Your script's description reads great ale,
to be used as is
or as a prototype for what should be C++ coded in scribus core.

> You must have a document open.
> This script checks if the document contains image frames with a broken link.

> It will then check all other image frames with a broken link and look for an image
