Live Path Effetcs

Postby Leomarc » Sat Oct 24, 2009 7:08 am

I saw a youtube clip on Inkscape+Booleans Ops (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9j_iBmrHg0) by disenolibre and this feature being available in the Live Path Effects editor. I also noticed a number of other LPE's in the editor such as 'rotate copies' and 'mirror symmetry'. On downloading Inkscape 0.47pre4 I was not able to see the Boolops or other LPE's in the editor. Are these able to installed separately or are they not available any longer?

Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't looked at the video but there is a number of effects that have been disabled because of bugs and instability, they need to be tested more before releasing them. It was possible to compile Inkscape dev version with them but I'm not sure if it's still possible, I think the code might be out completely. Searching the dev mailing list might tell you.
