That's pretty neat. That feature is called "mail merge" in Word. In American English anyway, "Direct Mailing" is a marketing term for "junk mail" a.k.a. advertisements sent through the postal system. So I agree "Direct Mailing" is not the best name to choose. :-)

I don't think "Direct Mailing" is a good name, but is the better that i can think because it do part of this work.

This is on it's third version after some usage and a test by the brazilian Inkscape community.

For now it's being used by the DebConf organization at Argentina to make the certificates. :-)

Até! Aurium

Aurelio,

http://www.colivre.coop.br/Aurium/InkscapeGenerator is something that CorelDRAW users request often, because they do business cards with data from CSV files. So I'd love to include this extension into 0.47. Any objections? :-)
