    Filter To Extension - Extract a Filter Stack From an object and conver to an extension

    Appears under Extensions>Filter To Extension

    The filter stack is saved as a zip file and can be installed as a normal extension

    The installed filter extension then appears under Extensions>Filter Extensions>Name

    An Inkscape 1.2+ extension

    It can be used from the command line ( currently the --batch-process option is

    required for Inkscape 1.2/1.3 )

    To list the action names for installed filter

    Linux inkscape --action-list | grep filter-extn

    Windows inkscapecom.com --action-list | findstr filter-extn

    Wow. This sound impressive and useful. A great idea and accomplishment. How do you come up with such cool ideas ?

     

    Due to my vision problems, it is hard for me to even use Inkscape anymore. 

    I am sure this gem will benefit many folks. Thank you very much!

    Thanks for the kind words Hum :)

    Actually it was a challenge to make a filter stack available on the command line.

    It actually ended up super slow - after I added a check to see if a filter extension with the same name was already installed in Inkscape - I've just made that optional via a checkbox.

    I know you have spent lots of time posting solutions and clever ideas to make Inkscape better !

    I'm sorry to hear about the vision problems. 

    The only thing I can think of that might help. LG LCD televisions and similar from around 2011 - the ones with the 2" bezels around them. They had VGA and HDMI in and can be used as monitors.

    I actually had a 42" LG 42LK450U in the living room connected to a small pc. They also made a 32" 32LK450U. ( these are UK models )

    They are both Full HD 1080p

    They are not very popular anymore - no smart features and change hands for a fraction of the original cost. 

    Depending upon your vision problems - it might be worth seeing if you can plug into something similar - you just need the correct cable.
