Summary0017719: Binding assumed t be left and no others able to be set.
DescriptionThe assumption that binding will always be left and not change throughout the document is incorrect. Bindings may be on any edge and change on a page by page basis. The absolute minimal user story support is the ability to set bindings on a document level to be any edge.

- International language support for right to left languages
-
Steps To ReproduceAttempt to set up a document with anything other than left binding - not possible
Additional InformationUser stories that cannot be implemented without hacks in Scribus.

1) I want to produce a document that is for a right to left language. To do this I need to set the binding to the right side for the whole document

2) I want to produce a calendar that displays as 2 pages hung at the top. To do this I need to set the binging to the top for the whole document.

3) I want to produce a brochure that opens in with panels unfolding from a central page. To do this I need to set the binding on multiple sides on a per page basis.

Design suggestion: allow any edge of a page to have a binding that can be enabled independently so a page can have multiple bindings. Expose this in the UI as binding setting at multiple levels, initially just at the whole document level.
