WriteTeX and Inkscape 1.2

The extension does not seem to work with Inkscape 1.2. Any thoughts on how I can debug / help you debug the situation?

I can reproduce the error with a non-default Inkscape theme.

Actually, if you wait enough long, an error dialog will pop out with GTK errors. So my guess would be that non-default themes don't have all icon resources as the default theme. If you roll back to the default theme the extension should work as normal.

hi, i rolled back the inkscape theme to the system default one.

inkscape

i got the same behavior. clicking on: extensions > writetex, does not do anything. it does not launch the extension. could it be something related to my installation? python versions? my default system theme (yaru-dark)? is there a preferred theme?

so fare, there is me and @ shivaway who had the issue. (plus you on non default theme.) this extension is very handy and easy to use. now, i am using textext. a bit different, and it yields warning every time it generates text.

thanks

Hi, I have the same problem. Inkscape 1.2.1 (9c6d41e410, 2022-07-14) Windows 10 and Python 3.8.2.

The error that keeps popping up is:

C:\Program Files\Inkscape\bin\pythonw.exe: can't find 'main' module in 'C:\Program Files\Inkscape\bin'

Hopefully this helps...

This was reported in https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/7727, where OP noted that the error logs reported a missing dependency of inkex. If you open the writetex.inx and delete the line that says inkex.py, perhaps that will work? https://github.com/wanglongqi/WriteTeX/blob/852484e1618b8e500f4e5211267912cc94d76e98/1.0.x/writetex.inx#L5

@nathanal Thanks for your comment! It seems to be a good idea to remove the line as in Inkscape 1.2.1 the inkex module is changed from a file to a folder. I have tested it on Unbuntu 18.04 machine and removing that line will make the extension load again.

@shivaway can you have a try on your machine to test whether the extension will work after removing such a line?

This worked perfectly! Thank you very much. I depend on this for a lot of different things and it was driving me nuts!
