Hi everybody. I've been using Inkscape lately with LIVES, a linear video studio for linux. LIVES uses frames to create animation (of course) I wonder if a new functionality can be added to Inkscape to export bitmaps sequencially, I mean with this: a checkbox for increment the name of the exported file. We write a filename to export like "livingroom000.png" and then every time I press the export button it will increase the last number at the end: livingroom001.png livingroom002.png livingroom003.png . . . . It will help also with the gap plugin for The Gimp. After that we can easily import a folder to LIVES. I hope this won't suppose a big delay in other more important stuff needed by Inkscape nowadays. Yours: Néstor Díaz

Hi Nestor,
Interesting idea... Would this require just a checkbox in the export dialog box that increments the filename after each export click? You would have the export dialog open on the side, move something on the screen, click export, repeat...
This doesn't seem like it would be too hard to add. Definitely put in a feature request for it. Perhaps if/when someone has time to work on the export dialog they'll add this feature as well.
By the way, is LIVES an open source project?

Yes, to make a nice animation I have to move elements little by little and this means a lot of 000numbers.png

Thank you very much.

Ah, cool. I've added it to the tools page on the website.
