Hi all.
I am fairly new to scribus and am extremely impressed. I've been using
it for a couple weeks now to create various forms and documents for my office.
I am hoping there is a way to batch convert a bunch of scribus files to
postscript files. Or maybe a stand-alone program that does this like atops. I
would like to be able to create scribus templates using Ruby ERB files and
batch process my company's monthly bill run. Thsi would allow one to do mass
mailings, bill runs where the data is filled in from a database, etc... The
possibilities are limitless.
Currently I can find no other format that will allow me to easily
create templates with page layout capabilities and then convert them to
postscript on the command line. This would basically be the holy grail for me
and, I'm sure, open up a lot of possibilities for everyone. The scribus XML
format is the only thing I can find that would allow me to do this without a
lot of headaches.
So, can someone point me to a way to do this? If there isn't a way,
what is the best way to make a formal feature request? I'm quite certain this
capability would be a "killer feature" so to speak.
