Hello Everybody, I have found this thread interesting. What I'd like to see is more of a general feature. It would support and further collaboration, but would have other uses. Specifically, I'd like to see a tool within scribus that did the following:
Strips out text, photos and graphics from OpenOffice docs into 3 separate and distinct files types. Text is saved as ordinary ASCII text. ASCII is the lowest common denominator and is infinitely portable. Each photo and graphic in a document is stripped out and individually saved as a single distinct file - Preferably the original file type of the photo or graphic file. A 4th file would contain all of the formating of the original openoffice doc. The 4th file that contains the formating could be edited and/or imported into Scribus to help in the layout. Further, this file could be edited on the fly in the event the importation of the format was not giving the user the desired results. It would also be interesting to have an album that held the results. All operations would be performed from within Scribus.
