I'll chime in on this one.
From Quark scripting I'm use to picture boxes and they do make sense if you
want to manipulate the appearance of the box itself. This includes setting a
border frame or background color behind the inserted graphic.
However, I'd love to know the reasoning behind ID's need to distinguish
between EPS images and Tiff images and the rest as opposed to just "Image".
You can only insert one image into a picture box, but to script anything
with the image you must know beforehand what kind of image it is: EPS, Tiff,
etc., to call it as something like "EPS 1". I've found myself using more
"try" statements or "if" statements just to make a workaround.
