Thanks for your idea, Gregory. I made a quick and dirty implementation of it in Gambas, and ended up with some error.
Strangely enough, I had go into the original resource directory to find a number of color .xml files delivered with Scribus. Isn't there a standard directory for these? And why are they hidden in the source? Anyway, according to your idea this is what my program should deliver: > <COLOR RGB="#f4ed7c" NAME="PMS 100" Spot="1" /> When I offer a list like this, Scribus imports it with all color fields black and just the original xml code behind it. So I looked into the xml files provided, and they showed a header and start-end tags, of course. Adding those, however, resulted in Scribus telling "not an XML color file". So, what now? Here's an excerpt of what my program produces: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SCRIBUSCOLORS Name="Pantone-Farben"> < Name="PMS 100" COLOR RGB="#f4ed7c" Spot="1" /> < Name="PMS 101" COLOR RGB="#f4ed47" Spot="1" /> < Name="PMS 102" COLOR RGB="#f9e814" Spot="1" /> ... ... ... </SCRIBUSCOLORS> Do you see any mistakes? When I looked into the other files, I saw there are more fields, but are they required? Rolf
