hye,

(i've already post this in the forum but i think it's more appropriated to post it here)

i'm the inksmoto main developper (xmoto level editor which is an inkscape extension look at that to see the different possibilities: http://wiki.xmoto.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Inkscape-0.4.0

Xmoto is a gpl game: http://xmoto.tuxfamily.org/ )

some times ago, Ted told me that:

"What I would recommend for this is add a custom X-moto namespace on the XML file. Inkscape will honor this, and keep it in the file. So something like this:

<path d="M 1 1 M 2 2 M 3 3 z" xmoto:vertex-settings="rrg" />

Where 'r' and 'g' mean something about the vertexes of the path."

So i add some path information in my own xmoto namespace: <path ns0:xmoto_label="edge:downtexture=street|edge:texture=street" id="rect2388" d="M 314.29911,415.20982 L 314.29911,98.084821 L 128.58036,98.084821L 128.58036,415.20982 L 314.29911,415.20982 z"

style="stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1;fill-opacity:1;stroke:lime;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-width:1px;fill:#66ddaa" />

with the namespace definition: <svg xmlns:ns0="http://xmoto.tuxfamily.org/" (the name ns0 is automatically choosen by lxml)

But, when i do a boolean operation on this path, my ns0:xmoto_label disapeared in the new paths created after the boolean operation... <path

style="fill:#66ddaa;fill-opacity:1;stroke:#00ff00;stroke-width:1px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1" d="M 575.875 242.375 L 390.125 242.375 L 390.125 423.9375 L 575.875 423.9375 L 575.875 242.375 z " id="path3184" /> <path

style="fill:#66ddaa;fill-opacity:1;stroke:#00ff00;stroke-width:1px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1" d="M 390.125 106.8125 L 390.125 242.375 L 575.875 242.375 L 575.875 106.8125 L 390.125 106.8125 z " id="path3179" />

i've tried with both inkscape 0.45.1 and 0.46 svn from yesterday and the behaviour is the same...

is there a way to keep my informations after a boolean operation ?? (i've also tried putting my informations into inkscape:label, but it's dropped too after a boolean operation)

(and i also confirm the notebook bug, i've having it too with 0.46svn https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/169017 )

regards.
