hye,

i'm the inksmoto main developper (xmoto level editor which is an inkscape extension)

some times ago, Ted told me that:

"What I would recommend for this is add a custom X-moto namespace on the XML file.
Inkscape will honor this, and keep it in the file. So something like this:

<path d="M 1 1 M 2 2 M 3 3 z" xmoto:vertex-settings="rrg" />

Where 'r' and 'g' mean something about the vertexes of the path."

So i add some path information in my own xmoto namespace:

with the namespace definition:


(the name ns0 is automatically choosen by lxml)

But, when i do a boolean operation on this path, my ns0:xmoto_label disapeared in the new paths created after the boolean operation...


i've tried with both inkscape 0.45.1 and 0.46 svn from yesterday and the behaviour is the same...

is there a way to keep my informations after a boolean operation ??

What does this extension do?

it's the Xmoto level editor.

look at that to see the different possibilities:

Xmoto is a gpl game:

It's better to ask such questions on the devel mailing list, this forum is mostly for users.

You can file a bug on this. The reason is that boolops create new paths and don't know that they need to copy over all the attributes of the old paths. It should not be too difficult to fix, if you want to look into it try src/splivarot.cpp where all boolops are. Note however that if your attr refers to nodes, it will be invalid after a boolop because a boolop in general changes the number of nodes.

thank you for the answer, i've posted it in the mailing list.
ted gould told me to fill a bug report too.
i'm doing it right now.

thanks again.
