Hi, there are a few requests to reorder/regroup extensions (https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/385, https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/10). Here's my proposal, that I'd like to have UX feedback on (cc @doctormo): * Arrange * Deep ungroup * Restack * Color * ... * Document\ *These extensions are logically connected with the entire document (layout).* * AI Import postprocessor * Docinfo * DPI Switcher * **Fill page with Grid** \[was: Render → Grid → Grid\] * **Guides Creator** \[was: Render → Guides Creator\] * **Layout** (N-up layout, Perfect-Bound Cover,\...) \[was: Render → Layout\] * Export * Export Layer Slices * Guillotine → Help tab is missing * Plot * Preprocess File save as (what does this do?) Broken since verb removal! * Generate from Path\ *These extensions take one or more path elements as input. Adding objects is the foundation of their functionality.* * **Construct from Triangle** \[was: Render → Draw from Triangle\] * **Distribute along path** \[was: Scatter\] * **Extrude between two paths (Loft)** \[was: Extrude\] * Inset/Outset halo * **Interpolate between paths** \[was: Interpolate\] * **Long shadow** \[was: Motion\] * Pattern along path * Voronoi Diagram * Images * Embed Images * Extract Images * Set Image Attributes * **Maybe move Raster extensions here?** * Modify Path\ *These extensions modify one or more selected paths in-place.* * Add nodes * **Convert dashes to path** \[was: Convert to dashes\] * **Inset Shadow** \[was: Edge 3D\] * **Envelope Deformation** \[was: Envelope\] * **Approximate as polyonal line** \[was: Flatten Bezier\] * **Fractal distortion** \[was: Fractalize\] * Jitter nodes * PixelSnap * Rubber strech (seems broken?) * Straighten Segments * To Absolute * **Twirl** \[was: Whirl, I think it's called Twirl for raster images\] * Raster * Generate \[was: Render\] \ *These extensions don't need a selection as input, except maybe as bounding box for the rendered object.* * 3D - **3D Polyhedron** \[was: Render → 3D Polyhedron\] - **Wireframe Sphere** \[was: Render → Wireframe sphere\] * Alphabet soup * **Barcode / QR Code** \[was: Barcode\] * Classic/Datamatrix/QRCode * Foldable Box * Function plotter * Gear (Rack Gear, Gear) * Grid * Cartesian grid → Renders a rectangle * **Fill bounding box with grid** \[was: Grid\]\ _(This extension is also under Document -> Grid, since without selection, it fills the page)_ * Isometric grid → render a rectangle * Polar Grid → renders circle * L-System * **Formula (pdflatex)** \[was: Render → Mathematics → PDF-Latex; could also go into Text\] -> done: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/merge_requests/453 * NiceCharts * Parametric curves * Random Tree * Spirograph * Triangle * **Styles** \[was: Stylesheet\]\ *These extensions modify styles or generate style-like objects, e.g. aVoronoi fill.* * **Color Markers** \[was: Generate from Path → Color markers\] * **Interpolate attribute in a group** \[was: Modify Path → Interpolate attribute\] * Merge Styles into CSS _(maybe this should go into Web?)_ * **Mesh gradient** \[was: Modify Path → Mesh\] * Mesh gradient to path * Path to mesh gradient * **Replace font** \[was: Text → Replace font\] * **Voronoi Pattern fill** \[was: Generate from Path → Voronoi Pattern\] * Text * Change case * Convert to Braille * **Extract from selection** \[was: Extract\] * Hershey Text * Lorem Ipsum * Merge * Split text * Typography * Is this still needed with the new font editor? @mkov, what do you think? * Visualize Path\ *Like Generate from Path, these extensions add objects based on a selected path, but their main function is to give the user additional information about the path.* * Dimensions * Draw handles * **Frame** \[was: Render → Frame\] * Measure path * Number nodes * Web * Interactive Mockup * JavaScript * Set attributes * Transmit attributes * Slicer \[maybe should go into Export → Web Slicer\]\ *We should revisit what Web slicer, Export Layer Slices and Guillotine do differently.* * Create a slicer rectangle * Export layout pieces & CSS+HTML code * Set a layout group The main goal of this is to fix inconsistencies in the ordering, as well as to give some extensions clearer names. This should address https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/385. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extensions/-/issues/10 asks for standardized ordering of 3rd party extension which is out of scope for this issue. I know that this breaks some people's workflows, but I suspect it will improve extension discoverability significantly (but should go hand in hand with better documentation, since googling the name won't lead people to Tav's manual anymore) Thanks :)
