[NEW] extenstion for creating latex figures from inkscape.

Hi Folks,

Some time ago, I looked into adding a feature to 'pstricks' output to /not/
convert fonts to paths.

I failed to make progress on that, so have tackled the problem using an
extension (attached).

I've knocked up a website with a description:
http://richard.henwood.googlepages.com/inkscapelatexextension

A couple of questions:
Is it possible to get the current filename into an extension?
Do extensions live on the wiki somewhere?

please report any good or bad experiences;
Richard.
