Best Regards,



I had in fact seen that page and done those things when the scripts appeared not to work, but that page advise is about version .42.
The advise says: install python24, point $path to it, install pyXML, make effects menu visible.
I suppose in version 0.45 none of these things should be nescessary since it should have all the dependancies packed. Therefore I uninstalled Pyxml and python24 and just unzipped inkscape 0.45-1
I also tried to find a python reference in preferences.xml to edit, but nothing there.
I did find a file called extension-errors.log: which tells me that a lot of dependencies are nog met (see bottom of mail)

Here's why I want the 'groups to pngs' so much.
I'm an editor working in Sony Vegas. It allows you to make titleclips, but if I want to change font/size/'color etc, I have to go through all the clips one by one.
I found out I could set up all the titles in one Inkscape-drawing and export them one by one as png's, import them in Vegas. In Inkscape it's then easy to change all the titles at once. The title page also gives a better overview then the Vegas timeline.
The groups to pngs script would allow me to update all titles in one go (nice if you have 30+ of them).
