- ISX - 'InkScape eXtension' - The filename extension used for XML metadata files that describe each Inkscape Extension.
"inx" sounds much better than "isx", IMHO. Easier to remember and pronounce.
I quite like that.
If you had more than one of them they'd be Ozzie rockband INXS (resisting temptation to make crude joke).
But still this system might be good enough that Gnome-Office will want to take part.
It is probably better not to heavily brand it with Inkscape (how much hassle was it changing all the sodipodi branding?)
Would it be so bad to use the .xml extension? The context of these files might be enough to identify them without a funky file extension.
.xml is probably already associated with a text (or sometimes even a specialised xml) editor and by using .xml there will be no need to educate other applicatins about this new format.
