actual version of gears-dev.inx does not show menu-item under rendering #27
Comments
It sounds like you have tried to install it in 0.48. This version is designed for 0.91. Released January 2015. |
No. I also made a content-comparison of the old and new file gears-dev.inx the working versions begins with <_name>Gear-dev org.ekips.filter.gears-dev gears-dev.py inkex.py 24 1.0 <_option value="MM">Metric Module <_option value="CP">Circular Pitch <_option value="DP">Diametral Pitchthe actual downloadable version downloadable from https://github.com/jnweiger/inkscape-gears-dev/blob/master/gears-dev.inx begins
I'm pretty sure the actual downloadable file is corrupted. best regards Stefan |
You have not downloaded the file correctly - you are looking at the html of the encapsulating page. |
Hi Neon22, thank you very much for explaining. Now I got the actual version working. Gitub seems to be for coding-nerds. I'm used to start reading from the top-left corner. best regards Stefan |
no problem Stefan - yes its def for coding nerds :) good luck with the extension |
This is a very common user error. Anybody out there do the pull request? |

Hi,
I downloaded the two files gears-dev.inx and gears-dev.py to my computer
But in the menu extensions-render the menu-item gear-dev is not shown.
So I did a rollback to a earlier version of gear-dev but then I got the error from issue 24
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'uutounit'
If I combined the new fixed gears-dev.py with the old gears-dev.inx I got another error
something about wrong doctype html don't remember exactly
So finally I googled for the error AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'uutounit'
and did the fix manually again.
Anyway the written instruction
"Copy the two files gears-dev.inx and gears-dev.py to your computer:"
does not work. the file gears-dev.inx need to be revised to create a menu-item "dev-gear" in InkScape
And the instructions should be improved by adding with something like
"a new menu-Item named "Gear-Dev" will show up under
extensions-render
It is very important to give a description of the WHOLE click-path where to find the function.
Imagine a new user knowing almost nothing about InkScape and the instructions just say
click on "dev-gear". The new user will not know where to find it.
best regards
Stefan
