Hi Paco i see it. thanks. works very well, thanks for share, I like it on inkscape but, whith this license never be included :(
The extension is GPL in the source code. It would be good to have it here under the correct license.
Hallo Wie mus ich die Erweiterung hinzufügen? Habe inkscape_arakne_shapes_2017_08_10 und Shapes.rar heruntergeladen.
Was muss ich jetzt tun?
After download it, you extract it and copy "shapes.inx" and "shapes.py" into folder at /home/username/.config/inkscape/extensions. Then, go to Inkscape, click menubar Extensions/ Generate from Path/ Shapes... You can watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KiZTERLyT4 to know. (Sorry my English so bad)
@paco is there any chance you can update it to work with Inkscape 1.0? I appreciate your creation so far, but I'm not familiar enough with Python and Inkscape extensions to update my copy myself.
tried myself to upgrade it to Python 3 too but i failed :/
