Since none of our standard libs could offer a cross-platform, easily available way to launch an URL in the user's default browser, I looked around and found exactly what we need in Python (which we carry anyway) - the standard "webbrowser" module. So I created some Python extensions to launch various URLs using webbrowser.open calls, and put them into Help menu:
This is so great! Thanks bulia...
- Inkscape Manual links to
http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.php, do you think we should host a redirect at inkscape.org instead?
I think we should offer tavmjong to have a subdomain for his manual at:
http://manual.inkscape.org/ and then link to this. What do y'all think?

Very cool!

SVG 1.1 specification at w3.org
Maybe we could have a hierarchical menu that links to all major versions of SVG. This would be great for development. I'm thinking:
SVG Specifications
SVG 1.2 Draft http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG12/ SVG 1.1 Spec http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/ SVG Mobile 1.2 Draft http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/ SVG Mobile Spec http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile/ SVG Print Spec http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGPrint/
And a link to the w3 svg page: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/
(I basically copied the main specs they highlight) This is important for development IMO.
I tested this and it seems to work well in Linux and Windows. Let me know if you have any problems. Also feel free to suggest other "launch an URL" commands for Inkscape (openclipart? wiki? inkscape.org? Aaron's extension page?)
Yeah, all those would be absolutely awesome...Is there a generic bag/main-menu we should have for those?
The only change I made in the core of Inkscape was to allow an inx file to specify <effects-menu hidden="yes"/> so that these new extensions don't automatically show up in the Effects menu.
Very cool!
