Lasercut Jigsaw Extension

Postby v2x » Sun Mar 29, 2015 6:38 am

Hi friends :) this is my first post.. just starting with Inkscape 0.91 (beginner level yet).

I'm trying to install Lasercut Jigsaw extension by Neon22, to try to do this tutorial by Olga Bikmullina.

I put Lasercut-jigsaw.inx and Lasercut-jigsaw.py in the correct folder for Ubuntu (14.4 64bits) /usr/share/inkscape/extensions

The addon must showed in Extension > Render > Lasercut Jigsaw but is not here :roll:

Lasercut Jigsaw Extension has an other dependency, I readt in Lasercut-jigsaw.inx is inkex.py and is not in /usr/share/inkscape/extensions
so I think maybe this is the problem.

Is inkex.py part from the old version 0.48? and for this reason can't run 0.91?

Hope someone can help me, I'm very interested in this extension to do a project, thanks and cheers!

mmm... wait, you are wrong, in 32bits Ubuntu, I put the extensions in a different path. Something like

Code: Select all

home/.config/inkscape/extensions/

Please, be aware that /.config is a hidden directory

Even more: in the home/.config/inkscape/ there is a file called extension-errors.log

There it says what problems were found.

Give it a try
If you have problems:
1.- Post a sample (or samples) of your file please.
2.- Please check here:

3.- If you manage to solve your problem, please post here your solution.

Hi.

Edit the extension python file and change the inkex.unittouu to self.unittouu

There are a few other posts on this forum on the subject , do a forum search for unittouu to find the posts.
Good Luck!

Thanks you ragstian

The developer has update python file already but he did this fix inkex.unittouu to inkex.Effect.unittouu

Your change in .py is ok, now is working ;) I'll send a new message to the developer with your instructions.

Cheers!
