turning of inkscape's id renaming

Postby neonic » Tue Aug 03, 2010 11:54 pm

Hello, I have a set of python scripts that work with svg files and I use inkscape too to modify svg files.

I noticed that inkscape sometimes changes the id values of certain svg tags. This is not what I want, since my scripts rely on these id values. Because inkscape changes the id, I have to put the old id values back with the text editor, after each modification I make in inkscape.

What I'd like to know is whether there's an option in inkscape to turn of automatic id modification, so that it doesn't automatically reset id values anymore. If anyone knows how to do this I'd like to know.

thanks!
