Re: [Inkscape-devel] Dbus implementation

27 Mar 2016

      Also dbus on windows did not work back then - unsure of status now.
This meant that work done op opening up the extensions (one of primary 
drivers IIRC) was not going to be cross platform.

Hi Raphaël,
The dbus interface needs some love and maybe you are able to give it
some. I would welcome your help.
DBus isn't compiled by default (I'm looking at the mailing list archive
for more information for you) but it's still there.
The reasons people give for dismissing dbus are that it's slower that a
direct API and way more complex to program than it has any right to be
in c++.
I'd like to see some python dbus test suite that we can make more
complete. I.e. we can run tests against inkscape using a testing
framework more people can get into.
But I think there are some useful things we could do if we had a stable
dbus api and I think a testing module would go a long way to triage it.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hello,
I've noticed that a Dbus application was written during a former GSOC
event (2009), and I was wondering why it was not included by default in
Inkscape. Does the implementation still need some work? I would be glad
to work on this if needed.
Best,
Raphaël
