Something like a specialized file browser showing all picture files and which files are in use and which ones might be obsolete. This tool would of course have to be folder orientated, not document orientated.

Hi Rolf,

Here is a script I wrote to simply do what you ask. You run the script and it creates a file with a list of image filenames. As written, it will also extract the text. To eliminate the text, modify the script by commenting out the line

                 T.append(item[0]+'\t'+ strpage + '\n')

or 'alter the for item in d:' clause to:

         for item in d:
             if (item[1] == 2):
                 imgname = scribus.getImageFile(item[0])
                 T.append(item[0]+' ' + imgname + '\t' + strpage + '\n')
