Include Filename as Variable in Drawing
Hi Is it possible to include the filename as a variable or field in an inkscape drawing? Thanks, Peter

attached is an svg file made by Inkscape 0.48.4. If you open this with a text editor, then you will see that one of the lines in the header says: sodipodi:docname="testname.svg" You can also see this name inside Inkscape by going to Edit->XML Editor and clicking on the top line, which looks like <svg:svg id = "x">

Thanks, Alvin, but how do I read the value of an XML-variable so it can be displayed in the drawing as a dynamic field (e.g. like fields in Word).
[we use Inkscape for drawings in our reports, so we would like to have the filename on the drawings so they can be located on the server easily]

Two ideas: 1. Pre-process the svg files: use sed or python or wtvr and replace a marker string with the file name, such that it will appear as a text thingy when svg is viewed. 2. Similar to 1, but use python in inkscape (extension) to manage this variable replacement dynamically.
