XIA 2.2 Extension won't work - Exception in Tkinter callback
Re: XIA 2.2 Extension won't work - Exception in Tkinter callback
The people who will most probably know more about how that extension works internally are its authors. Have you contacted them?

Re: XIA 2.2 Extension won't work - Exception in Tkinter callback
Thanks, yes, I'm simultaneously reaching out by email to the French academic institution that created the XIA extension...http://www.dane.ac-versailles.fr. Nothing returned as yet so I had my crossed my fingers that someone in this Inkscape English-speaking community might have encountered the issue and be able to guide me in my mother tongue:-)
Let me put it to you/all what I'm trying to do. I want to create tooltip/mouse rollovers on parts of an .svg image so that hover text displays to user with more info when they mouse over. I'm not a programmer so I don't know how to use Javascript or scripting languages to do it. Perhaps you or someone else in the community might know of another extension/way to do this... I'm looking for a front-end UI plugin to Inkscape. Thanks in advance.

Re: XIA 2.2 Extension won't work - Exception in Tkinter callback
Sorry for deleting my post, but it didn't work when I tested. I've found another way.
(this is for adding a title to SVG objects when you do not care about styling of the tooltip - if you do, there are ways to add CSS, or you can use javascript, indeed. What I haven't tested yet is whether it works when you put this into an <img> tag. It works standalone (when you only open the SVG in the browser).
1. Select element
2. Open XML editor
3. Add a new node to the SVG. Name it
4. Add a text node to that node. Enter your hover text.
5. Move the title node into the object that you want to have that hover text.
Save file.
Open with web browser. Hover.

If you download and open this svg in a browser, the hover will show the title.

Open the object properties panel for an object and enter info in the title field, then click "Set"
Depending how you embed in a web page, it might need some extra work.
Have a nice day.

Re: XIA 2.2 Extension won't work - Exception in Tkinter callback
Ah, Inkscape even provides a pre-made way for this. Didn't know - thanks, @tylerdurden 
(at least I now know how to do it manually...)
