How to add object properties
Hi list,
I want to add some new properties to the inkscape "object properties" window. I would like to use inkscape for the generation of some specific interface files but need more than "id","onclick","onmouseover",etc. It would be somewhat of a solution to just use "onclick" as "I/O input" but it would be so much nicer to be able to rename or add these properties.
Is it possible to change these things from within inkscape ?
Kind regards Bram

That is something that has come up in the past, and does seem to be generally useful.
The Inkscape source code would need some minor tweaking to get that to happen. It could be hooked in simply, but more than a minimum is needed so as to be implemented in a maintainable way.

Thanks for your input
So it would be best if I change the source code and recompile (for the time being) ? This should be line 371 in src/dialogs/item-properties.cpp And probably line 14 to 23 of both share/web-set-att.inx and web-transmit-att.inx And maybe src/attributes-test.h

I'll have to get a little time to look into some of the details. (At the moment I'm traveling through New Zealand, so my computer use is a bit spotty). I'll probably get a better chance come next Monday.
But unless things are configurable, those changes won't be appropriate to directly go into the trunk.
Also, the inx files in general just describe what an extension will do, and does not do the operations themselves.

I understand but I'm not that much of a C programmer, nor am I familiar with the inkscape sourcecode. Changing some things I found with the "find text in files" function of my python ide was not that hard.
If it's a small change maybe you can program it and I can do a donation to inkscape or you to show my gratitude ?
