Ah, good to know that.


My email is in fact public knowledge (from the git repo), but for some reason I still feel uncomfortable posting it on public forums. It doesn't really make sense. I need to think about it.

Tushantin: the elf was a quite a good SVG file for testing purposes. I found and fixed three different bugs the converter had.

You can download the latest version off github: https://github.com/nikitakit/svg2sif/zipball/master. (The download links on the first post point to "stable", which is a previous version)

A new "stable" version of svg2sif is out. It's mostly bugfixes - there aren't any new features.

I've been running automated tests on the openclipart collection of SVG files, and that's turned up quite a few bugs. The only major problem remaining is the way that multiple subpaths are treated. I'll try to come up with a better algorithm for that in the near future.

My full support is there!

A new stable version is now tagged. It fixes a few bugs, including a small mistake in the previous version that could affect a lot of SVG files.

The "shattered glass" bug is essentially all that remains to be fixed, unless testing turns up something else. (There's still numerous unsupported SVG features, some of them leading to crashes, but I'm considering those outside of the scope of the converter).

That last bug is fixed now... it turned out to have been a mistake on my part rather than a flaw in the algorithm.

on work I use Win32.
I copied the files
synfig_fileformat.py
synfig_output.inx
synfig_output.py
synfig_prepare.inx
synfig_prepare.py
in:
D:\Programmi\Inkscape\share\extensions
but Inkscape 0.48.2 cannot see the extention, in Save as, I cannot see *.sif format.
Whats wrong?
thanks

I'm surprised that this wouldn't be working. I can't give a definitive answer (since I don't use Windows), but I'll do my best to go over some possibilities.

1. Is there a menu item in Inkscape called "Extensions>Synfig>Prepare for Export"? If there is it means that at least half of the extension loaded correctly (you can then skip ideas #2 and #3).
2. Are there other extensions in "D:\Programmi\Inkscape\share\extensions"? (If not, then I made a mistake and posted the wrong folder name)
3. Does the extension work if you place it in "Documents and Settings\<Your User Name>\Application Data\Inkscape\extensions"? (you may need to create this folder)
4. Is there a file called "extension-errors.log" located in either "D:\Programmi\Inkscape\share" or "Documents and Settings\<Your User Name>\Application Data\Inkscape"? If there are any errors with the extension, they would be recorded in this file and I could figure out what happened.


At the moment I can't come up with other possible problems. I hope this helps. If not, maybe someone at the Inkscape forums will have better ideas.

this evening I can try on Ubuntu


no


yes, the folder is full of *.py and *.inx files


no, the locale folder is:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Dati applicazioni\Inkscape\extensions
but copying files there, does not work.

I also tried to create the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Inkscape\extensions
and copy here the files, same results.


yes, it is in:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Dati applicazioni\Inkscape
attached. It show many extention dependancy error, but seems nothing related to svg2sif


I will also try to post the problem on Inkscape forum.

I'm completely at a loss as to why this doesn't work. The only other possibilities I can think of is that you haven't restarted Inkscape, or that you're somehow running a different copy of Inkscape.

I hope that you'll be able to sort this out.

I have only one copy of inkscape installed on Win32, and every time I added files in a directory, I closed and restarted Inkscape

Hi nikitakit!
I've been playing a bit with the svg2sif extension and I just can say that it works wonderfully. It has been difficult to find any failure using the basic drawing tools and objects.
I have found two mistakes related to winding style:
When exporting objects made with the calligraphic tool or the polygon/star tool, the result doesn't keep the winding style, selecting Even/Odd instead of Non Zero for the sif file.
I think it will be easy to fix.
Congratulations!

You're right, it was a very simple fix. Thanks for catching it.

A new stable version is out with that fix and a few changes related to code cleanup.
