Creating New Extensions Looking to hire someone to modify an extension

    I run a business that uses Inkscape, and we need to modify the Visualize Path extension to do some calculations for us. I could muddle my way through the coding myself, but it would be much more efficient to pay someone who is already familiar with Inkscape extensions to make the changes. We just need to add a bit of styling to the output and make a couple small changes that would save us time and avoid error-prone copy and paste. Is anyone on this forum interested in taking on a project?

    I hope this post is ok - I didn't see anything in the Code of Conduct about this sort of post. I wasn't sure where else to go to find someone with relevant experience.

    Hi, @Smo, can you please add more details about your requirements. So, I'll look at it and see if I can do it or not.

    I've developed some extensions for Inkscape.https://gitlab.com/HarshilPatel007/inkscape-extensions .

    So the requirements have changed a bit, I ended up making the basic version of the plugin. It's just a slightly modified Visualize Path right now. What would be helpful now is a few changes.

    1) Change the style of the selected paths, both the stroke color and stroke style.

    2) Change the color of the text added by the plugin

    3) Group the selected paths together

    4) Move the group to the bottom of the layer

    I also have another project that's a bit more complicated. Basically cutting a piece off of a shape along another path. It's possible to do with standard Inkscape operations but it's a bit clunky, because Cut Path doesn't automatically delete the part we don't want and it also leaves a gap in the path that needs to be filled in.
