I'd like to try this out. I'm running 0.46+devel r21262 built 30 Apr 2009 on a MAC Mini OS 10.5.6. So, where does the code go?

a proposal has been made at https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/374574 for a new Python extension to cut the paths according to the dashed pattern used in the Stroke Style dialog. The source code (2 files, one .py and one .inx) is available at that location, for anyone that would like to try it. It needs to go into the directory C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions, and on the menu it is located at Extensions | Modify Path | Convert to Dashes.
Note that this procedure is destructive, you will not be able to edit the paths after this. Well, you can maybe use Edit | Undo..., but it would be best to save your work before doing this. Also, before using this procedure, you should normally use the procedure Path | Object to Path.
any feedback would be welcome...
