I was reading over the Scripting HOWTO for Inkscape in an attempt to discover how selected nodes are identified and/or passed to extension scripts by Inkscape. (I was thinking that I might be able to identify and fix a possible bug in the inkex.py file, or maybe see if I could get a Beanshell script to work.) However, after reading over the documentation and the man page for Inkscape, I can't figure out how selected nodes are passed to the scripts. I have examined selected objects in Inkscape's XML editor, and selection information does not appear to be stored in the actual SVG information. So I'm guessing the selected nodes are passed as a parameter? Is this true? If so, what is the name of the parameter and how are the selected nodes represented? If it is not true, are the selected nodes identified in the temporary SVG script some how? I hope I'm not being a pest with my questions. Thank you for the help. Landon
