Hi Jabier,
Thanks for cutting through the drama :-) I was thinking of a similar solution to yours while reading the backlog.
A set of raster exporting extensions would be very useful, especially if they're in python.
I don't like that idea too much, relying on external tools is a new source of bugs and issues, while having the code inside Inkscape is much less error prone. Just think about all the people asking about ghostscript for PDF or EPS import (or whatever it is, I kind of ignore those questions).
There's a lot of C++ code in our project that pops up extensions windows and a bunch of other things. I think the GUI should be handled by the script (but that would mean a version of pygtk or similar).
I'm attaching what I would love to be able to do to the inkscape Export PNG dialog. Maybe Mo (Máirín) and CR have some things to add too. (generated from a glade file which I'm also attaching)
Do I understand it correctly that there won't be a default export filename proposed any longer? I hardly ever care about that name so I just stick with what Inkscape proposes.
About clicking labels to turn them into settings and vice versa, I find that too confusing and hidden. Just keeping input boxen sounds fine to me.
Last but not least, when the dialog allows exporting to other formats I would no longer call it "Export PNG Image".
Best Regards, Martin Owens
