SVG export #122

Closed Eraldo closed 3 weeks ago

Eraldo commented 6 years ago

Is it possible to export a page as an svg file? I do understand that openboard has features that do not map to svg -- expecially the plugins/widgets. However I am talking about the writing/drawings mainly.

Alternatively is there a way that I can convert "open board format" to svg? (extracting the vector content)?

Context: I am trying to evaluate open board as a digital whiteboard solution and svg portability is impoartant to me to be able to edit the files even if stopping to use the tool.

Hi, There's no need to export, OpenBoard saves each page as an SVG file natively :) Now, the few times I've tried to open a page in Inkscape, it didn't necessarily display correctly, but if you do run into issues with that, please report back, perhaps it would be something that can be fixed...

When I need a graphic contained in a page, I just export in pdf and open the right page with Inkscape, which is simplier than opening the ubz file. I think the real plus would be an odg / odp import and export. I will follow a computing trainee soon, perhaps the student could work on that point.
