Unknown error when exporting (from converted groups to layers)

[sevenzerotwo]

Hi. In before, thank you for your work in this tool, it's saving many time and simplifying work! But anyway, seems like there's an error (and i don't know what this error telling about):

Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\Data\Inkscape\share\inkscape\extensions\batch_export.py", line 339, in _main() File "D:\Data\Inkscape\share\inkscape\extensions\batch_export.py", line 335, in _main exporter.run() File "D:\Data\Inkscape\share\inkscape\extensions\inkex\base.py", line 131, in run self.save_raw(self.effect()) File "D:\Data\Inkscape\share\inkscape\extensions\batch_export.py", line 175, in effect temporary_file_path = self.manage_layers(layer_id, show_layer_ids, options.hierarchical_layers, options.using_clones) File "D:\Data\Inkscape\share\inkscape\extensions\batch_export.py", line 264, in manage_layers layer_label = layer.attrib["{%s}label" % layer.nsmap['inkscape']] File "src/lxml/etree.pyx", line 2479, in lxml.etree._Attrib.getitem KeyError: '{http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape}label'

I was trying to export my svg with multiple layers as a page (and later i will combine it to make booklet pdf). Before, i was using another exporter but when i found your extension, i wanna to try out (the former exporter i use utilize groups to export, so i converted the groups to layers from objects menu)

Do you know what's this error about and/or do you know how to solve/workaround this?

I'm using Inkscape 1.1 in Windows 11 21H2 22000.376

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for trying out the extension. I tried to look into it, but I don't know exactly how to reproduce this issue on my machine. Can you upload a test inkscape file and a series of instructions that describe how to reproduce the issue, so that I can understand what is going on?

Example:

• test_file.svg: similar to the file from this repository in the test directory. It doesn't have to be the file you got the error on (as this one most probably contains private data), but a simple file in which you can reproduce the same issue. You can try and add some layers and objects and organize them in a similar way to your original file.

• Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the file in inkscape
  2. Hide layers: Layer1, LayerTest
  3. Go to Layer3, select the red rectangle, right click on it and select duplicate.
  4. Select: Extensions->Export->Batch Export
  5. Use the following options: You can upload a screen shot here for simplicity
  6. Click Apply

• It would also be helpful to explain what the expected result should be. So I can compare it with the actual result.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, i recently scrolling through emails and forget about the notifications.

Turns out this is because lack of remaining layer labels when i convert the groups to the layers. Giving labels to all layers through xml editor by adding inkscape:label solves this problem, and i can batch export normally.

Thank you for your answer, i close this issue now.
