Creating New Extensions What is throwing this error while overwriting?

    This is inklinea's Quick exporter: https://inkscape.org/~inklinea/%E2%98%85quick-export

    I'm modifying it so that it has an option to overwrite existing files; which means that anything you have loaded as a file layer in Krita or any other software; all we need to sync that file is the hit one button and this is super handy to couple with the 'Object to Vector' feature to ensure that it's looks correct in Krita. This is because It seems Inkscape is not going entirely by CSS convention for SVG's while Krita is but is not quite fully complete in it's implementation; so converting layers to vector quickly within a one click export solution makes a lot of sense.

    I got it working but I'm getting a warning/error when overwriting.
    In case it matters I'm using Nobara Linux with Gnome.

    So here's the new version of the PY script ('quick_export.py'):

    The error message doesn't stop the overwrite; but requires me to click through and I'd honestly mute it if I knew how.

    Any ideas?

    In Inkscape 1.3

    There is an action:

    export-overwrite

    A cheeky way to add the overwrite option might be to add this action ( including the semicolon ) to a variable.

    Then join to the final action string before the command call.

    Or just join it as a string.

    my_actions = ''.join(('export-overwrite;', my_actions))

    I've not tested it :)

    Awesome; that did solve the issue with the overwriting; and now it will overwrite without error. But now, it's giving me a similar error when exporting for the first time; and I think it's because there's something wrong with the way my code checks to see if a file is there already to determine whether using standard save or overwrite save.

    This is the error I get when there are no files I and I go to update with overwrite enabled:

    I installed Nobara 38 Gnome on a virtual machine and allowed to update. 

    It comes with Inkscape 1.3

    The extension runs without errors for me.

    Thanks for testing that... Fascinating.
    That's my luck to fix an addon that works fine for everyone but me.
    So something with my set-up is breaking but I have no clue what could possibly bring up the error...

    Is there anyone who can maybe interpret the error message?

    The other thing I'm considering is just force muting the error since it's working just complaining unnecessary...

    I'm not sure what is causing the crash.

    As shown in the output error msg you can report it on the gitlab issues page.

    It does seem to be related to https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/8833

    If you see the post by Krir17 and the two links in that message. 

    However I am not sure how to solve it.

    I hacked it into submission by literally suppressing warnings and instead they will generate via a log file in the home directory for debug reasons.
    Now it does what I want! Quickly exporting a universally compatible SVG without bugging me with warnings I don't care about! The button clicks have successfully been defeated between Inkscape and Krita! This means I can work with all kinds of crazy text effects and still quickly sync it through to Krita. Awesome.

    This is my first every extension modification; say if I can't get hold of the original extension author, should I release it as another extension?
    I would like to store it safety for others to make use of. I guess it should be fine since it's GPL?

    Here's the final PY file. the .INX stays the same.

    Hang on.. I must have done something wrong because the SVG does not load as a file layer into Krita now... but I can drag and drop it straight it... ahh man.. Weird.
    Not sure what I did differently.

    Looks like there's more to be done..

    EDIT: Ok got it; there's a problem when syncing files between my HD and SSD, but it goes away when the documents are all in the same drive. Probably a Krita issue.

    I guess it's done!

    I wrote the extension in 2021 to solve a similar problem and as the author I am very happy for anyone to modify it. It's GPL3 for that reason.

    Probably best to release it as a separate extension and upload it to a free gitlab account. Or just folk it. 

    I am terrible at merging etc, I literally drag and drop a lot of my stuff file by file into gitlab for that reason. 

    One thing you will have to do though, is change this code in the .inx

    <name>Quick Export</name>

    <id>org.inkscape.inklinea.quick_export</id>

    The reason being is that if two extensions have the same id, they collide and will not run. Changing the name in the .inx is optional but less confusing.

    I was probably going to changethe extension at some point.

    The reason being the actions object-to-path has changed the  way it operates from Inkscape 1.2 --> 1.3 and no longer gives the expected grouped text.

    Anyway nice to see someone enjoying writing extensions.

    Awesome thanks Inklinea, and tbh I think I had a dumb moment and overlooked that you were the original author haha.

    Sure I'll take a look at fixing these lines of code too :)

    Thanks for all your help Inklinea.

    Warm regards,

    Simon.

    I was thinking a lot about the name recently and thought if it's going to be a different name i was keen to go with 'Ink Sync' because all I care about is syncing Inkscape to other applications. When ever I think exporting, I think of final destination/interchange (FBX, gltf, 8bitPNG etc); where as I want the name to communicate an iterative, constant process. It's probably going to continue to evolve in that direction; I may remove features and or add functionality to reduce clicks such as a trigger when the user changes focus of the window away from inkscape. I had considered quick export 2, quick export sync, and I think quick sync was my favourite runner up; because I'm thinking if our thoughts are aligned that it's good to have the option to export to update existing files, then it might be confusing to have vastly different names for very similar tools. Maybe none of it matters and I'm over thinking it!
