is it possible to make the new namespace for inx files optional? I see no real benefit for the namespace, but it is a real drawback that all previous custom extensions will become invalid (until you add the namespace to the inx files). When we release 0.47 lots of users will be confused and will report bugs for this I guess.
Not really. Basically by doing this transition once we make things a lot better for the future. I wasn't able to find a way to bring in old files without doing something nasty like string editing them on the fly -- which isn't desirable at all.
we could use a function like that to match all tag names:
gboolean match_tagname(const gchar *cstr, const gchar *tagname, const gchar *ns = INKSCAPE_EXTENSION_NS_NC) { gchar *str = (gchar*) cstr; int nslen = strlen(ns); if (!strncmp(str, ns, nslen)) if (str[nslen] == ':') str += nslen + 1; if (*str == '_') str += 1; return strcmp(str, tagname) == 0; }
maybe this is "nasty", but it works (I've tested it) and I would prefer it over broken old extensions.
I think it's nasty, but I'd be willing to go for it. Mental? Do you have any thoughts on this?
