Hello,

I am doing my own version of Inkscape and I would like to alter Inkscape name that appears in the Inkscape window like "New document 1 - Inkscape",
where in the source code can I alter the Inkscape to Inkscape3Dx?
Thank you very much for any answer

Hi Bernhard,

that sounds interesting - what will it be able to do?

About the name:
Please read the Inkscape trademark policy carefully first: https://inkscape.org/en/about/trademark-policy/
Then contact the Software Freedom Conservancy or the Inkscape Board about the naming.
I'm not sure if this is allowed by Inkscape's trademark policy, but I am not a lawyer and therefore you should ask there.
If you just do it without asking, it might be seen as a trademark violation (and even with asking, they just might tell you that you need to choose a different name).

If I wanted to change the name in the code, then I would look into the pot file, and then into the file that it mentions:

#: ../inkscape.desktop.in.h:1
msgid "Inkscape"
msgstr ""

and change the message there (I didn't test this, might as well be the wrong place, but that's what I would try).

Regards,
Moini

The original strings for the Window title are in 'src/widgets/deskopt-widget.cpp'; they are marked as translatable, and therefore also in 'po/inkscape.pot' (and in the *.po files (re-)generated from inkscape.pot).

For your convenience, here are links to the relevant lines in current trunk rev14430:

• src/widgets/desktop-widget.cpp
• po/inkscape.pot

Note that inkscape.pot is a generated file, too (but under version control, mostly as service for translators)
