moini / inkscape-extensions-multi-bool Goto Github PK

I came to this plugin as I am looking for a simple way of cutting a lot of parallel lines with a shape (to end up with a line art representation of the original shape).

Currently, contrary to what I would have thought, the 'intersect' tool in Inscape only works on shapes and not paths... someone then pointed me to this plugin, that's listed as also being able to work on paths, and even though there is no intersect function, I had the idea that I could implement this myself from the Difference function...

But alas - this plugin doesn't work on paths either, even though it's described as being able to do so.. am I missing something?

thank you very much for these extensions! I have been using them as a basis for a proposal of my own.

When I run these extensions on recent Windows trunk, I get the attached crash message

I was able to fix it by adding the line
inkex.os.environ['LC_ALL'] = 'C' # pass this to the spawned Inkscape
before calling Popen.

Cheers,
