Added z-order pasting sequence support.
This allows the objects currently selected to be pasted according
to a sequence you choose. For example if you have 3 objects selected:
Typing 1,1,1,2,2,3 would paste 3*object 1, 2*object 2 and 1*object 3 in that z-order.
This is great. I'll soon write an article where I use this extension to export public domain libraries from Figma to https://svg-stencils.github.io
This extension works a lot faster with inkscape 1.2. Thanks!
Hello mipmip, I've made a slight update to the extension ( only on gitlab ) in response to your merge request. I haven't merged the request - just updated, as I correct a bug which I think achieves the same thing :) Many thanks.
Isn't it faster to just group objects and convert the group to a layer? Or am I getting something wrong about how this works?
It acts on the current selected objects individually.
So if you select 12 objects it will create 12 new layers, each object has its own layer.
Objects can either be transferred to the new layer (original is moved) or just copied (original remains)
For the z-order a new set of duplicated objects is created according to the user sequence and placed in a new sequence layer.
Oh, well that's indeed different than what I understood it did. Maybe you should update the description, inklinea!
