Inkscape

Not suitable for Windows due to extensive use of libxml

I have some questions about this. Since Inkscape can already produce SVG, PDF and PNG files, what does this extension do differently?

Is it just that it's more convenient because you can save a step? You only have to select the object you want saved/exported, instead of changing page size to fit selection, and then export or save?

Actually Inkscape can already do this for PNG, using File menu > Export PNG Image > Selection. Unless I just don't understand correctly?

I wonder if it needs a different name? Maybe people will think this provides multiple pages support. Would Multiple Export be better than Mulitple Page?? Or maybe Batch Exporter?

I don't mean to be critical. I'm just trying to understand.

Thanks!

Hi brynn, this extension was created to fit specific needs actually. I create web designs and presentations and use the same document for all the pages (that's where the name came from) because it is more convenient.

With this extension I can select all items and export them without changing document size and naming each file manually. And if I want a multipage PDF it can merge all the pages into a single file. Repeating these steps for a few items is not a big issue, but for documents with 10 or 20 pages it saves me significant time.

I do agree that Batch Exporter is a better name. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for explaining :-)

Amazing extension! Thank you so much, it's exactly what I was looking for.

Dear Olibia, can I use this extension with 1.0?

Hi Gellért! After reading the release notes, I assume I might have to update the extension to be compatible with version 1.0.

If I find issues with version 1.0, I will release a new version and upload it here, since I use the extension too!

Olibia!, your extension its a godsend for us, been lookin for something like this for a long time. We do a lot of brochures and catalogues and as you might know its a pain to export this kind of work with default inkscape.

Are you still developing this work?, do you accept request's?, and donations?

Thanks for the good work!

Thanks MrD, I'm glad the extension has helped you, I know exactly what you mean!

Development is not very active because for me its features are enough, but sure I'm open to requests.

If you plan on requesting a feature, please open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/olibia/inkscape-multipage-export) or GitLab (https://gitlab.com/olibia/inkscape-multipage-export).

Hi Olibia
Can you tell me how to install python2-lxml and librsvg on ubuntu ?
Thanks

So awesome of you to produce this for us!

Thank you!

Ehm...
Got this error on Linux Mint:

"

web-design-leader sorry for the late response.

In case the error is not resolved, you can open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/olibia/inkscape-multipage-export) or GitLab (https://gitlab.com/olibia/inkscape-multipage-export).

This is not an issue tracker and comments get often missed.

Thank you

I have Windows 10 x64 bit. This works smoothly and without a hitch. Thanks to the developer.
