check tdb's script for creating captions

    scribus.deselectAll()
    scribus.selectObject(frame)
    scribus.moveSelectionToBack()

    # Create group of all the objects.  It works better by selecting the
    # objects, as the group is then left selected after the operation.
    scribus.selectObject(image)
    if caption:
        scribus.selectObject(caption)
    scribus.groupObjects()

@luzpaz you should save the script in a text file and run the file from scribus...

@aoloe Ok.. thanks. What about the patch at the end of the tp://www.tdb.fi/~tdb/tmp/image-frame.py.txt

Does the script need to be run when scribus is in certain condition on the canvas?
