Ids to text elements
whidev
A simple Inkscape extension that lets you extract attributes (like id) from all selected paths, and show them as <text> elements inside the paths. Useful for when you want to have all paths' id shown on the SVG document as <text> nodes. You can also use it for other path attributes, like `label`, `fill`, `stroke`, `width`, `height`. Available under the Extensions > Text submenu. Check the extension's repo on GitHub for examples. Options for styling and formatting the text: Font size in pixels Color (the fill color of the <text> elements) Font (should be installed on the system) Font Weight (should be supported by the selected font) Angle (controls the rotation of the generated <text> elements, in degrees) Options for further editing the extracted text (only used with id and label attributes): Text to replace (a simple replace function to remove characters you may not want from the text) Match Regular Expression (matches the extracted text of each path to a regular expression and uses the result on the path, e.g. if the id is `Province_055` and this field `\d+`, the text on the path will be just `055`) Capitalize (capitalize all text) Group paths with the generated text elements (if checked, also group the path with its text label) Note: only works on <path> elements. If you have a <circle>, <rectangle>, <text>, etc., first use Object > Object to Path to convert it. For Inkscape v0.92 and before, you should check the extension's repository on GitHub.

Export to LaserGRBL for laser cutting
Nikki.Smith
This free extension for Inkscape speeds up preparation of laser cutting jobs by exporting Gcode to LaserGRBL (included with most laser cutters). Pick your model of laser and material / thickness from pulldown lists, then export a complex job directly into LaserGRBL with one click. Use different coloured lines for each part of a job. eg, red lines to engrave in a single pass at 3000 mm/min @ 80% power, but blue lines cut in 3 passes at 300 mm/min @ 90% power. The emphasis is on it being very easy to use, with the bare minimum of settings. v1.10 14/Oct/2024

Typst
jcwinkler
Typst is a markdown-based typesetting system comparable to LaTeX but much easier to learn. This extension renders typst code to svg and inserts it into your Inkscape document. Notes: - This extension will be part of Inkscape by default, most likely starting with Inkscape 1.4. Until then you need to install it as described below. - This extension just inserts a formula into your document. If you need to edit your formulas try the TexText extension, which also supports typst: https://github.com/textext/textext Installation instructions (2 possibilities): A) Installation via Inkscape's Extension Manager 1. Download the zip file 2. Launch Inkscape and open "Extensions" - "Manage Extensions..." 3. Select "Install Packages" and then click on the disk button 4. Select the downloaded zip file and close the extension manager. 5. Restart Inkscape. You will find the extension under "Extensions"- "Text" - "Typst Formula..." B) Manual installation 1. Download the zip file 2. Extract its content into Linux, Mac: ~/.config/inkscape/extensions Windows: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions 3. Restart Inkscape. You will find the extension under "Extensions"- "Text" - "Typst Formula..."

Dynamic GUI example extensions with GTK
Nikki.Smith
For extension developers. Most extensions to Inkscape use an .inx file that describes a static user interface, then a Python script is run one time when the user clicks "Apply". To create a dynamic UI (that changes as the user clicks buttons, selects from dropdown menus, etc) you can build it in GTK using a Python script that runs immediately. Requires Inkscape v1.1 or newer. These short examples demonstrate a handful of functions in GTK+ 3. Now includes an example extension that uses a .glade XML file to create the UI with Gtk.Builder(). Also many small changes that result in much higher pylint code scores.

Localization / translation example extension
Nikki.Smith
For extension developers. This minimal extension pulls together some helpful documentation about adding localization to an extension, including where the translation files go and what gettext commands to use on both Windows and Linux. Now includes localized text in the Python script. Also many small changes that result in a much higher pylint code score.

Sibelius ViewBox
musikai
This is an extension for Inkscape 1.2 for correcting SVG-files that were exported by Sibelius via the graphic selection tool. These SVG are always the full page with 4 white rectangles that cover the unwanted area. The page size and viewbox isn't set correctly to show only the selected area. The extension will correct this and has the options to - remove the white cover boxes - remove all elements that are outside the page (most of it). #### Download: Click on the image above #### Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg7QqarVrA4 #### Installation: On Windows extract the zip file into something like this path: C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\ To find and open the correct folder you can also open Inkscape->Edit->Preferences->System->User Extensions->Open After installation and restart Inkscape you can run the extension in "Extensions"->Document->Sibelius Viewbox. #### (Optional) Usage as .bat-file to process multiple SVGs: As it is a python script it also can be used to batch process multiple files via command line. Put this line into a text-file, edit the paths (yourname) and save as SibeliusViewbox.bat: for %%a in (%*) do python.exe "C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\SibeliusViewbox\SibeliusViewboxExtension.py" --remove_whiteboxes=True --remove_elements=True %%a > %%a_viewbox.svg An example .bat-file is included. Once created you can drag and drop multiple SVGs onto the SibeliusViewbox.bat-file and the script will generate the corrected SVGs. Note: If Inkscape is not installed in "C:\Program Files\" you must edit the Python script. #### (Optional) Add .bat-file to Send-to-Menu: You can add the .bat-file to the Windows Send-to-menu. Open Windows-Explorer and insert this into the address-bar: shell:sendto This opens the Send-to-folder. Copy the .bat-file into it. Now you can select all your SVGs, right click -> Send-to -> SibeliusViewbox.bat
