I am a noobie. I installed the Bezier Envelope extension. When I attempt to perform the action I receive the following error message...

C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions\bezierenvelope.py:90: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated
raise("Both letter and envelope must be SVG paths.")Traceback (most recent call last):

raise("Both letter and envelope must be SVG paths.")

Both letter and envelope must be SVG paths.

I am attempting to follow the tutorial in episode 88 of the heathenx screencast. Thanks for any assistance and your understanding and patience with a noob.

what object are you trying to apply the envelope effect to? if it is not a path you must convert it to a path first. likewise, make sure the object you are using as the envelope is a path.

Hi picturebean,

Did you read the comments on the episode page? Al lot of users responded with similar problems and heathenx answered them all patiently. Near the bottom he explains that things work a bit differently in version 0.47.

I think these may help:
