Summary0016710: Page sets are predetermined in the app, when there is only one PageSet in document itself
DescriptionScribus inserts unnecessary PageSets in the document file. What's more, it doesn't make use of their structure in that file.

When I open Document Settings, I expected there would be only one PageSet after me mangling with file (deleting unnecessary PageSets and setting BOOK="0" on DOCUMENT).

What happens is that default page sets are still there in the app. So, if you press any of them, it crashes.
Steps To Reproduce1. Open *.sla document in simple text editor.
2. Remove "Set"s you don't need from PageSets, leaving one.
3. Don't forget to change the value of BOOK attribute to "0" in <DOCUMENT>, if any.
4. Open this file in Scribus.
5. Open Document Settings.
6. Click on any page set that shouldn't be there.
7. Get crash.
Additional InformationWhy does Scribus attach page sets that we don't use later, again? IMO, it's DRY problem.

Scribus requires 2 page sets, and 4 for older versions.. why are you trying to delete them from the file and why are you trying to manually edit the BOOK value?

@cbradney Apparently because it wasn't documented. OK, so this is legacy issue.
