Not compatible with Inkscape 1.0

[bwruehl]

Since this is the only location that I see this extension posted, and several users have noted having an issue, I am unsure where else to pose this question/issue.

The current posted version (posted on Apr 2, 2016) is not compatible with Inkscape 1.0 on all OS platforms. Are there any plans to update this version or is this project now defunct?

@bwruehl : thanks for reporting this. I'll try to look into fixing it, hopefully soon, despite the fact that I didn't originate this extension. https://shlomif-tech.livejournal.com/37969.html . In the meanwhile, patches / pull-reqs would be welcome too.

@bwruehl : hi, please do a git pull and try again.

Sorry for the delay in response, I wanted to try and test my own issues before replying. First of all, thank you for putting effort towards attempting to update this extension even though you are not the original owner. Many of the graphics people out there appreciate the effort. I did attempt your updated files but it appears that it does not work and intended. While I do not get an error, the output vector is severely altered in a way it no where near resembles the desired output.

To be specific on my testings, I am running Ubuntu 20.04 on 4 different machines, two have Inkscape version 1.0 and two have version .92.5. The original bezier envelope extension files work fine with .92.5 but create errors on 1.0. The new files error out on version .92.5 but create a completely abstract output in version 1.0. I have attached two images to this email, one being the desired output which I captured from Inkscape .92.5 with the old extension files and the other from Inkscape 1.0 with your recently modified extension files.

While I am not a coder / programer, I would be glad to help out on this in any way that I can as this is/was one of the extensions I used very often.

Thanks

@bwruehl : hi! I didn't receive your attachments. Can you use the github web interface or send them to shlomif@gmail.com ?

[bwruehl]

Here are the images that did not get passed in the email.

@bwruehl : hi! can you also provide the input sources? See: https://github.com/shlomif/writing-the-perfect-question

[bwruehl]

I am not sure what you are looking for when you ask for the input sources so I will provide what I am using to test. I have created a test svg file that has nothing in it but text that has been converted to a path (vectored) and a 4 point shape. I will send you the svg in email as it won't let me attach it in this post. I select the text, then the shape, then go to Extensions -> Modify Path -> Bezier Envelope. It should then convert the text shape to match that of the 4 point shape as seen in the images I provided.

Here is a good link with videos that show how this is supposed to work: https://cleversomeday.com/textwarpink/

Thanks again! I got the input svg and uploaded it to https://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/images/bezier-envelope-for-inkscape--extension--bwruehl-test-1.svg .

You can use path > path effect > envelop deformation instead as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3BHcregNUs

I really liked the results I attained with this extension, but have now migrated to Inkscape 1.1. Any chance this extension could be fixed up to work with 1.1?

TIA

I've been meaning to look into that, but have been distracted by higher priorities:

In the meanwhile, merge requests / real forks are encouraged.

hi all! Does this still happen with Inkscape 1.1.x? https://github.com/shlomif/Shlomi-Fish-Back-to-my-Homepage-Logo seems to work fine for me. Also see https://github.com/shlomif/writing-the-perfect-question .

[dpanderson1960]

I am now running 1.1.1 and it seems to work fine. Thank you!

thanks @dpanderson1960 ! I'm closing this issue for now to avoid clutter. I can reopen it.
