I'm trying to create a GUI for Native Instruments Kontakt sampler and it would be a big help if there was some way to get the TOP LEFT x y pixel position with the x y origin being the TOP LEFT of the page. Even better is if I could specify a pixel offset for the pixel readout.

Is there any extension for this?

I don't know any of such, but
what if you flip all the drawing elements you designed vertically?
That way the top left would turn to bottom left, which is the default origin of the objects in inkscape.
For the offsetting part, I would draw a rectangle the size of the offset,
and use the align and distribute panel with that rectangle as a "spacer".

Hello:

About extensions:

I see that in the simpletransform.py there are functions to get the bounding box of paths. I don't know if there is possible use it for other objects like text,etc
The file is in :/share/extensions/ in the installed inkscape directory

Other option is find the DOM javascript method

yeah im just going to do this.

Step 1: Create a new layer
Step 2: Ctrl + A (select all), Ctrl + C (copy), select the new layer, Ctrl + Alt + V (paste to original position
Step 3: press v (vertical flip)
Step 4: Shift + Ctrl + M to open move dialogue, nudge everthing by pixels until you have the correct x,y offset.

So basically I just create a new layer with everything in it and make sure the inkscape xy readout is accurate.
