I would like to make the original 'Win32 Vector Print' extension invisible on the menu, but don't know how to do that. With respect to adding an option to a print_win32_vector dialog, it currently does not have a dialog, it just calls up a printer dialog. The extension relies on the idea that a second instance of Inkscape will be run in order to prevent corruption of the original file, and it is this second instance that calls up the save as dialog, so the first save as dialog is no longer needed in this case.Ĥ. With respect to adding an option to the existing save as dialog, I am not entirely sure that this would work. With respect to the File->Save As., again, I get a crash with a runtime error dialog when I run it on Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92+devel 15458 (64 bit) trunk. The second time I run it, it will use whatever directory I used the first time, which is hopefully more accessible. The first time I run it, the default directory is the directory of the temporary file, which is quite inappropriate. I know that there is a difference between the very first run and subsequent runs, because the default save-as directory is different. I have a vague memory that I encountered the same problem myself and then it went away. I wonder if you would be willing to run the prepare_ file_save_ as extension again, just in case it works the second time. Thanks for testing! apologies in advance for the lengthy response:ġ. net/inkscape/ +bug/600472/ comments/ 5.Īttached is a proposal for such an extension, which will perform these operations automatically. Requests for an automated, non-destructive way, of doing this have been made, see: https:/ /bugs.launchpad. However, this has the disadvantage that it destroys the original form of the object so that it is no longer editable in the usual way. Traditionally, the suggested work-around in these cases has been to first select the objects and then use the menu item Path->Object to Path. This deficiency has been known for some time, see https:/ /bugs.launchpad. Most or all of these formats will not output objects of the type, ,, rounded, or. These were all originally designed to support only the element. dxf, and the (Windows only) extension Export->Win32 Vector Print. There are four output formats that are sometimes used to send output to laser cutters/plotters.
