I'm going to merge in my "xverbs" branch which requires YAML. So it's still possible to guard all code behind a WITH_XVERBS if we cannot add that lib as a hard dependency, but in the current state of things yaml would become a hard dependency of inkscape. If anyone has any problems with that (compatibility on some platforms maybe?), please tell before the merge Best regards, Dmitry Zhulanov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

Oops nevermind, I did not notice the other thread. Looks like it allows you to do several things that are not possible in batch mode.

Since this is practically a superset of batch mode, I think that can be removed in favor of your feature. However, please remove the -B short flag.

Would you be OK with deprecating this feature if/when we have integrated Python or Lua scripting?

I think it is better to only have the long option. I am okay with the new YAML dependency, but it would be best if it was optional (if there is no YAML on the system when compiling Inkscape, the xverbs feature is disabled).

This looks very interesting but I can't work out how to get started. Perusing the source didn't help[ me. Are there any examples, or a workflow of how to find the verbs, then use them ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel
