Support for object exchange (or custom scripting)


Recommended Posts

Hi !

Trying to make the change from inkscape to Designer, I was puzzled by the disappearance of the "object exchange" tool, which to me sounds like one of the simplest possible tools to implement given access to the API (copy object one position (x,y); write position (x2, y2) from the second object as position for object one; write the copied (x,y) back as object 2 position).

Since it is a priori such an easy function to write, is there any rationale for not including it?

This issue is made significantly worse by the lack of API reference and tools for custom scripting / integration with other softwares. Such exposed APIs are what made the success of many "open-source" projects such as Blender, Inkscape, vscode and many others: your software cannot be missing features if the users can add them for themselves.

 

Please consider such a move, which would be in everyone's best interest and would make your software suited for larger scale professional applications.

 

Best regards
