first of all, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this forum and Inkscape project itself. It is a wonderful tool and I have been using it for years!
Now it is time to start giving back and making it more customizable. After reading many posts and some docu I was able to kick-off with simple extension project.
My first question is: how to output message to the "Messages" window. I would like to use it for debugging as it would stay after closing the extension debug window.
Shortly about my project:
Make as extension that does three things to the selected objects:
- flatten all transforms - make all paths and coordinates absolute
- adds class to the objects - I am planning to use either title or description window from object properties
- exports the selection as plain svg file for web
This maybe at the end two or three separate extensions. So if you know something like this already exists let me know :)
