Moved to GitLab!

This is an archived version of the extension. For the current one, visit the new repository.

Fork of Ryan Lerch's multiple-difference Inkscape extension.

A set of three inkscape extensions to apply

• Path -> Difference
• Path -> Cut Path
• Path -> Division

on multiple selected paths or shapes at once.

The topmost object is used to cut / divide / do a difference on each selected object below.

In contrast to the standard operations, it keeps the topmost object.

Installation

Copy the *.py and *.inx files into the directory indicated in Edit -> Preferences -> System: User extensions

Usage

Select all objects (paths or shapes only!) that you want to use the extension with, then go to Extensions -> Boolean -> Multiple Cut / Multiple Difference / Multiple Division. Done!

Known Issues:

• Does not give any error messages.
• Does not recurse into groups.
• Is probably slow on large files, as it replaces the file's contents by the contents of an edited temporary file.
