/usr/share/inkscape/extensions not found

Postby jakbop » Tue Apr 07, 2009 4:20 am

Hi,
If anyone can help point me to ward a solution, then great! that'd be sweet.

I have the binary os x installation of inkscape on tiger 10.4.11. Default extension appear OK in the Extensions tab, but my add-on extensions in /usr/share/inksape/extensions aren't found.

What's the solution?

I Have this same problem but on Windows 7.
I pasted extensions like the 'Bezier Envelope' extension into
C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions
but they do not appear when i use Inkscape.

Look at the pictures to prove this:

This shows i have pasted 'Bezier Envelope' in the correct place

This shows that it does not appear in InkScape (NB. it is in none of the other sub-categories).

Please help.
Thankyou

I realse now my mistake.
I never copied the .inx file into the folder.
I did that and it worked fine. You need both a .py file and a .inx file.
Hope you get you problem resolved Jakbop.
Sorry for the post when really it was simple.
